Carlos Augusto "Guto" Inocente Filho (born May 29, 1986) is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist and kickboxer. A professional MMA competitor since 2005, Inocente formerly competed for the UFC and Strikeforce in MMA.
He signed with Glory Kickboxing in 2016, eventually becoming a contender. [2] In 2017, Inocente was banned for 4 years by the World Association of Kickboxing Organizations after he tested positive for four banned substances from the 2017 World Games. [3]
He is ranked as the sixth best heavyweight by Combat Press as of September 2022, [4] and eighth best by Beyond Kick as of October 2022. [5] Combat Press previously ranked him as the #10 heavyweight in the world between July and August 2021. [6] [7]
Originally from Brasília, Brazil, Inocente first began training in striking at the age of four, coached by his father, and then began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the age of seven. Inocente would go on to have accomplished careers in professional boxing and kickboxing, winning various titles; [8] Inocente is a former five-time Brazilian Kickboxing Champion, a three-time Pan-American Champion, and a three-time South American Champion, among other titles. [9]
Inocente made his professional MMA debut in 2005 and fought seven bouts in five years, two of them being for Shooto. There he defeated Vitor Miranda and one month later Gustavo Moia, to become the Shooto South American Heavyweight (220 lb) Champion. [10] In 2011, with a record of 5-2, Inocente signed with Strikeforce.
Inocente was expected to face Lionel Lanham on July 22, 2011, at Strikeforce Challengers: Bowling vs. Voelker. However, he was forced out of the bout due to injury and was replaced by T. J. Cook. [11]
Inocente made his debut on January 7, 2012, at Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine against Virgil Zwicker. He defeated Zwicker via unanimous decision (29–28, 29–28, 30–27). [12]
Inocente was expected to face Gian Villante on September 29, 2012, at Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Healy, but Showtime canceled the entire card due to Gilbert Melendez suffering an injury. [13] [14]
After the demise of Strikeforce, Inocente signed with the UFC. [15]
Inocente was expected to face Shane del Rosario in a Heavyweight bout on December 28, 2013 at UFC 168. [16] However, both participants pulled out of the bout citing injuries. [17] Inocente's knee injury was exacerbated when he was re-injured by Alistair Overeem during training; a move that resulted in Overeem being asked to leave the Blackzillians. Reportedly, Inocente was sparring with Overeem and, despite having a broken hand, was getting the better of the exchanges until Overeem took Inocente down, causing the injury to Inocente's knee. [18]
