Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Abreu compiled a professional mixed martial arts record of 14-2 fighting within the Brazilian regional MMA circuit as well as in Paraguay, United Arab Emirates and Russia for over 7 years winning various regional MMA titles before signing for UFC in January 2019. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Abreu made his UFC debut at light heavyweight against Magomed Ankalaev on 23 February 2019 at UFC Fight Night: Błachowicz vs. Santos. [8] He lost the fight via unanimous decision. [9]

Abreu then faced Sam Alvey on 20 July 2019 at UFC on ESPN: dos Anjos vs. Edwards. [10] He won the fight via unanimous decision. [11]

Abreu next faced Shamil Gamzatov on 9 November 2019 at UFC Fight Night: Magomedsharipov vs. Kattar. [12] He lost the fight via split decision. [13]

Abreu was initially targeted to face Gadzhimurad Antigulov on 13 June 2020 at UFC Kazakhstan. [14] Subsequently, the Kazakhstan event was later cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [15] As a result, Abreu was rescheduled to face Jamahal Hill on 30 May 2020 at UFC on ESPN: Woodley vs. Burns. [16] He initially lost the fight via technical knockout in the first round, but the fight was later overturned on 3 September because Hill tested positive for marijuana. [17]

On 10 August 2020, it was announced that the UFC released him. [18]

Professional Fighters League

On 1 June 2021, it was announced that Abreu was signed by the PFL and he made his debut on 25 June 2021 at PFL 6 against Jamelle Jones. [19] He lost the bout after being knocked out in the first round. [20] [21]

Klidson was scheduled to face Ali Isaev on April 28, 2022, at PFL 2. [22] However, Isaev pulled out of the bout and was replaced by Adam Keresh. [23] He won the bout via unanimous decision. [24]

Klidson faced Renan Ferreira on June 24, 2022, at PFL 5. [25] In an upset, Klidson won the bout via unanimous decision. [26] The Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission overturned the result of the bout to a no contest, after Abreu failed a drug test for unspecified substances. Klidson and his team contended that the positive was due to prescribed antibiotics for a leg laceration. [27]
