Analysis
Igor Severino is a Brazilian bantamweight fighter, OKTAGON champion since his win over Khurshed Kakhorov in March 2026. Discovered through the Dana White’s Contender Series and then released by the UFC after a disqualification for biting, he rebuilt his career in Europe all the way to the top of the division.
Background
Born April 21, 2003, in Juruti, in the state of Pará, Igor da Silva Severino grew up in Brazil and trains at Chute Boxe João Emilio, in Bauru. He turned professional in December 2018, right in Juruti, submitting Jean Carlos Santino by rear-naked choke in the first round. He strung together wins on the Brazilian regional circuit, at Alternativa Fight Combat, then Pitbull Fight Combat and Rei da Selva Combat, before joining Jungle Fight, a leading promotion for amateur and semi-professional MMA in Brazil.
Jungle Fight and Dana White’s Contender Series Career
Between November 2021 and August 2022, Severino strung together three wins at Jungle Fight, by submission over Wellington Rocha Moura, then by medical stoppage over Davi de Souza Almeida, and finally by TKO over Manoel Rodrigues de Lima, taking his record to 7 wins and no losses. He became Jungle Fight flyweight champion during that run. In September 2023, he joined the Dana White’s Contender Series, where he beat Jhonata Silva by second-round TKO, earning a UFC contract.
UFC Stint
Severino made his UFC debut on March 23, 2024, on the Amanda Ribas versus Rose Namajunas card in Las Vegas. Facing André Lima, he bit his opponent in the second round and lost the fight by disqualification, which ended his run in the promotion. It remains, to date, the only loss of his career.
OKTAGON Career
Severino returned to competition on December 29, 2024, at OKTAGON 65 in Prague, beating Jonas Mågård by split decision. On March 7, 2026, at OKTAGON 85 in Hamburg, he faced Khurshed Kakhorov for the vacant bantamweight title and won by second-round TKO, following a body shot and follow-up ground strikes, taking his record to 10 wins and 1 loss. That made him OKTAGON bantamweight champion. On June 6, 2026, at OKTAGON 89 in Bratislava, he defended the belt against Zhalgas Zhumagulov, who had moved up from flyweight to challenge him. The fight ended in a no contest in the second round after an accidental low blow, and Severino retained his title. He made his first successful defense on November 7, 2026, at OKTAGON 97 in Hanover, beating Max Holzer by first-round TKO in 54 seconds.
Fighting Style
Severino builds most of his wins on punching power, with six of his eleven total wins coming by KO or TKO, complemented by four submissions and one decision. His disqualification loss to André Lima also reflects the physical intensity he brings to ground exchanges, where he looks to transition to submissions once he has hurt an opponent.
