Luiz Eduardo Garagorri (born May 28, 1989) is an Uruguayan mixed martial artist who competes in the Featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Background
Son of a Brazilian father and an Uruguayan mother, Garagorri spends most of his time in Santana do Livramento, a Brazilian city that’s in on the other side of the border from Uruguay’s Rivera. Garagorri has been fighting professionally since 2015, when he decided to stop working as a lawyer at his mother’s firm to dedicate full time to martial arts.[2]
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Starting his career in 2015, Garagorri compiled a perfect 12–0 record fighting for a variety of regional Uruguayan and Brazilian promotions, before he was scouted by the UFC for their first event in Uruguay at UFC Fight Night: Shevchenko vs. Carmouche 2.[3]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Garagorri made his UFC debut against Humberto Bandenay on August 10, 2019 at UFC on ESPN+ 14.[4] He won the fight via unanimous decision.[5]
Garagorri faced Ricardo Ramos on November 16, 2019 at UFC on ESPN+ 22.[6] He lost the fight via a rear-naked choke in round one.[7] A featherweight bout between Mirsad Bektić and Luiz Eduardo Garagorri was scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Covington vs. Woodley. However, Garagorri was pulled from the fight on September 15 after one of his cornermen tested positive for COVID-19.[8] Bektić faced returning veteran Damon Jackson.[9]
Garagorri faced Darren Elkins on November 7, 2020 at UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Teixeira.[10] He lost the fight via a submission in round three.[11]
