Roger Narvaez (born September 9, 1983) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Middleweight division.
Narvaez began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu in 2007 as a way to lose weight and to help keep in shape for his job as a firefighter. He began training in mixed martial arts in 2009, making his professional debut in 2011. Narvaez competed primarily in regional promotions across his native state of Texas where he compiled a record of 6 - 0 before signing with the UFC in the spring of 2014. [2]

On the ground, Barnatt was able to survive several submission attempts. Narvaez won the bout via split decision. [6]
Narvaez faced Elias Theodorou on March 14, 2015 at UFC 185. [7] After a first round in which Narvaez seemed to control, Narvaez suffered a broken arm in the second round after an attempt to block a kick from Theodorou, and was stopped with a flurry of punches shortly thereafter. [8] In turn, Narvaez was released from the promotion. [9]
