João Antônio Barbosa Arroyo[1] (born 1 July 1989) is a Brazilian male mixed martial artist who competes in the Middleweight division. He has formerly competed for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background

After graduating with a business degree and working for a year as a marketing assistant, Arroyo decided to pursue MMA professionally, after practising martial arts through most of his youth.[4]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Starting his career in 2014, Arroyo compiled a 7–2 record on the regional Brazilian scene, capturing the Salvaterra Marajó Fight Middleweight Championship in the process.[4] After this, he was invited onto Dana White's Contender Series Brazil 1, where he won a unanimous decision against Diego Henrique da Silva. This win did not however earn him a UFC contract.[5] Arroyo was invited back the next year to Dana White's Contender Series 20, where he faced Stephen Regman and winning the bout via arm-triangle choke in the second round. This time, Arroyo earned a UFC contract for his performance.[6]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Arroyo was expected to make his promotional debut against Kevin Holland on 16 November 2019 at UFC Fight Night: Błachowicz vs. Jacaré.[7] However, in late September, promotion officials elected to remove Holland from the bout in favor of a matchup against Brendan Allen on 18 October 2019 at UFC on ESPN 6.[8] Alessio Di Chirico was then expected to face Arroyo,[9] however, it was announced on 24 October 2019 Arroya was scheduled to fight André Muniz instead.[10] Arroyo lost the fight via unanimous decision.[11]

Arroyo was scheduled to face Trevin Giles on 8 February 2020 at UFC 247.[12] However Arroyo pulled out a day before the event due to medical issues and he was replaced by James Krause.[13]

Arroyo was expected to face Andreas Michailidis at UFC Fight Night: Felder vs. dos Anjos on 14 November 2020.[14] However, Michailidis withdrew on 23 October due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced Eryk Anders.[15] At the weigh-ins, Anders weighed in at 187.5 pounds, one and a half pounds over the middleweight non-title fight limit. The bout was to proceed at catchweight, and Anders fined 20% of his purse, which would go to Arroyo.[16] Anders eventually pulled out of the fight the next day as consequence of the weigh-cut and the bout was canceled.[17]

Arroyo, as a replacement for Antônio Braga Neto, faced Deron Winn on 19 December 2020 at UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Neal at a catchweight of 196 lbs.[18] Arroyo lost the fight via unanimous decision.[19]

Arroyo was scheduled to face Tom Breese on 5 June 2021 at UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Sakai.[20] However the fight would be cancelled a few hours before it was to take place due to medical issues suffered by Breese.[21]

Arroyo faced Joaquin Buckley on 18 September 2021 at UFC Fight Night: Smith vs. Spann.[22] He lost the fight via knockout in round three.[23]

After the loss, Arroyo was announced to be no longer part of the UFC roster.[24]
