Carlos Augusto Inocente Filho (born May 29, 1986), better known as Guto Inocente, is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist, and former professional boxer and kickboxer currently competing in the UFC's Light Heavyweight division. A professional competitor since 2005, Inocente has also formerly competed for Strikeforce.

Background

Originally from Brasilia, Brazil, Inocente first began training in striking at the age of four, coached by his father, and then began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the age of seven. Inocente would go on to have accomplished careers in professional boxing and kickboxing, winning various titles;[2] Inocente is a former five-time Brazilian Kickboxing Champion, a three-time Pan-American Champion, and a three-time South American Champion, among other titles.[3]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Inocente made his professional MMA debut in 2005 and fought seven bouts in five years, two of them being for Shooto. There he defeated Vitor Miranda and one month later Gustavo Moia, to become the Shooto South American Heavyweight (220 lb) Champion.[4] In 2011, with a record of 5-2, Inocente signed with Strikeforce.

Strikeforce

Inocente was expected to face Lionel Lanham on July 22, 2011, at Strikeforce Challengers: Bowling vs. Voelker. However, he was forced out of the bout due to injury and was replaced by T. J. Cook.[5]

Inocente made his debut on January 7, 2012, at Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine against Virgil Zwicker. He defeated Zwicker via unanimous decision (29–28, 29–28, 30–27).[6]

Inocente was expected to face Gian Villante on September 29, 2012, at Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Healy, but Showtime canceled the entire card due to Gilbert Melendez suffering an injury.[7][8]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

After the demise of Strikeforce, Inocente signed with the UFC.[9]

Inocente was expected to face Shane del Rosario in a Heavyweight bout on December 28, 2013 at UFC 168.[10] However, both participants pulled out of the bout citing injuries.[11] Inocente's knee injury was exacerbated when he was re-injured by Alistair Overeem during training; a move that resulted in Overeem being asked to leave the Blackzillians. Reportedly, Inocente was sparring with Overeem and, despite having a broken hand, was getting the better of the exchanges until Overeem took Inocente down, causing the injury to Inocente's knee.[12]

After over two years away from active competition due to injuries, Inocente made his UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter 19 Finale on July 6, 2014 against Derrick Lewis.[13] He lost the fight via KO in the first round.

Inocente then dropped to Light Heavyweight and faced Australian Anthony Perosh at UFC Fight Night 55 on 8 November 2014.[14] He lost the fight via submission in the first round and later dismissed from the UFC.
