Elves Brener debuted at UFC 284. He took on Zubaira Tukhugov in the lightweight division. The 26-year-old was roped in as a last-minute replacement as Joel Alvarez walked out of the fight. Despite coming in at the last minute, the Brazilian put up a dominant show and won the fight via decision.

Brener’s story is very similar to that of most Brazilian fighters on the roster. He comes from a very humble background and is slowly working his way to the top. He currently trains at the Chute Boxe under the guidance of Diego Lima in Sao Paulo.

Brener is constantly learning and working hard to improve his skills. He also has former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira in his corner. Before his UFC 284 fight, Brener indulged in some heavy sparring sessions with ‘Do Bronx’, which gave him the edge against his opponent.
