Paixão earned his black belt from Osvaldo Alves in 1998.[1] He has won multiple World Championships as a black belt. He took first place at Mundials in 1998 (as a purple belt); and in 2001, 2002, and 2005 (as a black belt). In addition, he finished second (silver medal) in 2004.
In May 2010, Paixão defeated Caol Uno in a submission grappling bout at the UFC Fan Expo held in Las Vegas at UFC 114.[2]
Mixed martial arts careeredit
Paixão made his WEC debut at WEC 40, where he lost a unanimous decision to Wagnney Fabiano.
In his next fight, Paixao fought Cole Province at WEC 42, where he originally suffered a split decision loss. The result was later changed to a no contest after Province tested positive for banned substances during a post-fight screening.[3]
Paixão was expected to face Bryan Caraway on March 6, 2010, at WEC 47,[4] but Caraway was forced off the card with an injury. Paixão instead faced Courtney Buck[5] and won via first round submission. Paixão eventually fought and defeated Caraway via split decision at WEC 50.[6]
In December 2018, it was reported that Paixão had previously assault one of his students in a gathering at a bar. Paixão then cut contact with his student, who pursued him for a civil claim. Another former student alleged further misconduct by Paixão, including drinking while teaching, showing pornography to students, and harassing female students.[11][12]
