Medeiros was expected to face Justin Edwards on August 30, 2014 at UFC 177.[12] However, Edwards pulled out of the event in the days leading up to the event citing an injury.

Medeiros faced Joe Proctor on December 12, 2014 at The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale.[16] Medeiros won the fight in the first round after dropping Proctor with a spinning back kick to the body and securing a guillotine choke to earn the submission. The result also earned Medeiros a Performance of the Night bonus.[17]

Medeiros was expected to face Tony Ferguson on February 28, 2015 at UFC 184.[18] However, Medeiros pulled out of the bout citing injury and was replaced by Gleison Tibau.[19]

Medeiros faced Dustin Poirier on June 6, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 68.[20] He lost the fight via TKO in the first round.[21]

Medeiros faced John Makdessi on December 12, 2015 at UFC 194.[22] He won the fight by split decision.[23]

Medeiros faced Donald Cerrone on February 18, 2018 at UFC Fight Night 126.[37] He lost the fight via technical knockout out in round one.[38]

Medeiros was expected to face Mike Perry on July 7, 2018 at UFC 226.[39] However, Medeiros pulled out of the fight on June 27 citing a rib injury and was replaced by Paul Felder.[40]

Medeiros faced Gregor Gillespie in a lightweight bout on January 19, 2019 at UFC Fight Night 143.[41] He lost the fight via TKO in the second round.[42]

Medeiros faced Lando Vannata on February 15, 2020 at UFC Fight Night: Anderson vs. Błachowicz 2.[43] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[44]

Replacing injured Nikolas Motta, Medeiros was scheduled to fight Damir Hadžović on May 22, 2021 at UFC Fight Night: Font vs. Garbrandt.[45]However, the bout was pulled from the card just hours before taking place due to health issues with Hadžović.[46] The pairing was rescheduled on June 26, 2021 at UFC Fight Night 190.[47] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[48]

In August 2021, Medeiros was released from UFC.[49]

Personal life

Medeiros started off his career fighting at light heavyweight. He then moved down to middleweight and eventually made his lightweight debut at UFC 159.
