Luiz Eduardo Garagorri (born May 28, 1989) is an Uruguayan mixed martial artist who competes in the Featherweight division. He competed for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background

Son of a Brazilian father and an Uruguayan mother, Garagorri spends most of his time in Santana do Livramento, a Brazilian city that’s on the other side of the border from the Uruguayan city of Rivera. Garagorri has been fighting professionally since 2015, when he decided to quit his job as a lawyer at his mother’s law firm to dedicate himself full time to martial arts.[2]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Starting his career in 2015, Garagorri compiled a perfect 12–0 record fighting for a variety of regional Uruguayan and Brazilian promotions, before he was scouted by the UFC for their first event in Uruguay at UFC Fight Night: Shevchenko vs. Carmouche 2.[3]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Garagorri made his UFC debut against Humberto Bandenay on August 10, 2019 at UFC on ESPN+ 14.[4] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[5]

Garagorri faced Ricardo Ramos on November 16, 2019 at UFC on ESPN+ 22.[6] He lost the fight via a rear-naked choke in round one.[7] A featherweight bout between Mirsad Bektić and Luiz Eduardo Garagorri was scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Covington vs. Woodley. However, Garagorri was pulled from the fight on September 15 after one of his cornermen tested positive for COVID-19.[8] Bektić faced returning veteran Damon Jackson.[9]

Garagorri faced Darren Elkins on November 7, 2020 at UFC on ESPN: Santos vs. Teixeira.[10] He lost the fight via a submission in round three.[11]

On December 8, 2020, it was announced that the UFC had released him.[12]
