Jailton Malhadinho's defeats as a UFC heavyweight

The first warning sign for Jailton Malhadinho in the heavyweight division came in March 2024, when he faced Curtis Blaydes . On that occasion, the Brazilian was unable to impose his game and ended up being knocked out in the second round.

Months later, facing Alexander Volkov , Malhadinho suffered another defeat. Despite securing takedowns against the Russian, the Bahia native couldn't maintain his offensive volume and let the result slip away in a split decision. Following that, against Rizvan Kuniev , he delivered a lackluster performance and was defeated by unanimous decision.
