Camozzi lost on the scorecards in Las Vegas on October 29, 2011, Lawlor in Montreal in November 2012, Larkin in San Jose in April 2013 and Philippou in Toronto in September 2013.

A flat card with no weapon above 84
Kickboxing and BJJ are both 74, and the finishing record shows it: two submissions and no knockouts in the UFC. Souza beat him on points in Brazil in February 2014 and Dollaway did the same in Berlin that May. Leites finished him 20 seconds into the second round in Tulsa in August 2014, and the UFC released him a month later. A bigger puncher elsewhere in the build adds the missing finish.
