Thomas Almeida Among the UFC’s many top prospects, undefeated bantamweight Thomas Almeida might be one of the most promising. The 23-year-old turned heads prior to his UFC stint when he opened his career with 16 consecutive wins. He’s continued that success in the UFC, where he’e won his first two octagon appearances in dominant fashion to push his unblemished record to 18-0. Almeida has finished his opponent in all but one of his victories. And perhaps more impressively, the Brazilian has allowed just three of the fighters he’s faced to escape the first round. The early tests in Almeida’s (18-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) career have been passed with flying colors.
