Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Luis Felipe Dias Colares[1] (31 March 1994 – 1 May 2023) was a Brazilian mixed martial artist in the bantamweight division. A professional since 2013, he most notably competed for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Background

Growing up in Macapá, Amapá, Colares started training judo at the age of seven and picked up Brazilian jiu-jitsu, taekwondo, and Muay Thai at 15.[5]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Colares compiled an undefeated MMA record of 8–0 fighting within the Brazilian regional MMA circuit, culminating with his win of the Jungle Fight featherweight title before signing with the UFC in January 2019.[6][7][8][9]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Colares made his UFC debut as a lightweight against Geraldo de Freitas on 2 February 2019 at UFC Fight Night: Assunção vs. Moraes 2.[10] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[11]

Colares then returned to bantamweight and faced Domingo Pilarte on 20 July 2019 at UFC on ESPN: dos Anjos vs. Edwards.[12][13] He won the fight via split decision.[14]

Colares then faced Montel Jackson on 25 January 2020 at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. dos Santos.[15][16] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[17]

Colares was scheduled to face Gustavo Lopez on 7 November 2020 at UFC Fight Night 182[18] However, he pulled out of the scheduled bantamweight bout against Gustavo Lopez during fight week after he tested positive for COVID-19.[19]

Colares was initially scheduled to face Journey Newson at UFC on ESPN 23 on 1 May 2021. However, Newson withdrew from the bout and was replaced by Luke Sanders – whose opponent also withdrew from the event – in a featherweight bout on 1 May 2021 at UFC on ESPN 23.[20][21] Colares was knocked down multiple times in the first round, but won the bout via unanimous decision.[22]

Colares faced Chris Gutiérrez on 9 October 2021 at UFC Fight Night 194.[23] He lost the fight via split decision.[24]

Colares faced Chase Hooper on May 21, 2022 at UFC Fight Night 206.[25] He lost the fight via technical knockout in round three.[26]

On June 9, 2022 it was announced that Colares was released from the UFC. [27]

Post UFC

Colares made his first appearance post-UFC release on February 17, 2023 at Ares FC 12, submitting Alioune Nahaye via rear-naked choke in the first round.[28]

Death

On 1 May 2023, while Colares was returning from his morning training at Team Nogueira in the western part of Rio de Janeiro, he was run over by a bus. Firefighters arrived at the scene and he was taken to Richa Faria Hospital with multiple injuries. He died en route at age 29.[29]
