Rogerio Bontorin, the farm boy from Colombo with a Northeast Brazil jiu-jitsu title
Rogerio Bontorin lives and works on a family farm in Colombo, Parana, and started MMA at 18. He is listed as the 57 kg Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion for Northeast Brazil and made his professional debut in 2013, fighting mostly at home and for Pancrase in Japan. He reached 13-1 with one no contest before Dana White's Contender Series in Brazil, where a second-round submission of Gustavo Gabriel Silva in 2018 earned him a contract.
Bontorin, one rating at a time
Boxing. Adequate at 76. His best stand-up result was a first-round doctor stoppage of Raulian Paiva in 2019 rather than a clean knockout.
Kickboxing. His lowest striking number at 74. Yuki Motoya knocked him out with a knee in Rizin in 2022.
Wrestling. Above his striking at 78, which helps him get the fight to the ground where his real game lives.
BJJ. Top of his card at 84. The Northeast title and the submission finish on the Contender Series both point here.
Strength. His lowest rating at 73. His wins have come by submission, decision and doctor stoppage rather than knockout.
Durability. Fine at 78. He went the distance in a split decision win over Magomed Bibulatov and in decision losses to Ray Borg and Brandon Royval.
Cardio. Reliable at 80. He also beat Muhammad Mokaev on a split decision in a submission grappling main event in October 2024.
Fight IQ. Decent at 76. His debut win over Bibulatov came by split decision, and he picked up a doctor stoppage of Paiva later in 2019.
The ground is where he wins: BJJ
Bontorin's BJJ rating of 84 leads his card, which fits a man listed as a Northeast Brazil jiu-jitsu champion at 57 kg. His Contender Series win came by submission, and in October 2024 he beat Muhammad Mokaev by split decision in the main event of ADXC 6 in a submission grappling match. Any lineup that needs a flyweight who is happiest when the fight goes to the floor should consider him.
The striking exchange is a risk: Strength
Strength reads 73 on his card, the lowest of the eight. He lost by first-round knockout to Kai Kara-France in March 2021, and by second-round knockout to Yuki Motoya in Rizin in 2022. When a sharper striker gets clean shots on him, his size does not let him turn the fight around. His best chances come when he can close distance and take the fight to the mat early.
