Background

Macário is from Brazil and was first exposed to mixed martial arts growing up, watching PRIDE fights, and was a fan of Wanderlei Silva and Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira, who were both champions in their respective divisions. Macário began to train in Muay Thai, until he was 14 years old and met his future coach, who invited the young Macário to come to his gym and train.

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Macário made his MMA professional debut against Gilmar Souza Milhorance on August 15, 2010. He won the fight via TKO in the first round. Macario compiled an undefeated professional record of 6–0 before being invited to compete on The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2.

The Ultimate Fighter

In March 2013, it was revealed that Macário was a cast member of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2.[3] He won his elimination fight to get into the TUF house, defeating Roberto Corvo by TKO in round 1. He was chosen to be a member of Team Nogueira. Over the course of the show, Santos defeated Thiago Marreta by unanimous decision and Tiago Alves by TKO to reach the semifinals. In the semifinals, he faced Viscardi Andrade winning the fight by TKO in round 3. He was expected to face Santiago Ponzinibbio in the final. However, Ponzinibbio broke his hand during his semifinal fight and was replaced by Leonardo Santos.

Macário fought Leonardo Santos in the finals on June 8, 2013 at UFC on Fuel TV 10. After a strong first round, Macário seemed to tire and was submitted in the second round.[4]

Macário was expected to face Neil Magny at UFC Fight Night 40.[6] However, Macário was removed from the bout for undisclosed reasons and replaced by returning veteran Tim Means.[7]
