Timeline
Murilo Bustamante (born 30 July 1966) is a retired Brazilian mixed martial artist and former UFC Middleweight Champion.
He is one of the founders of the Brazilian Top Team and is the current leader.
In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he has won The Mundials World Championships in 1999 and has won the Brazilian National Championship 4 times.
In ADCC, he competed at the 88–98 kg in both 1999 and 2000, and the Absolute tournament in 1999.
He managed a record of 3–2 with his losses coming by way of points over submission.
(Note: Murilo defeated Ricardo Almeida by points, but was unable to continue the tournament.)
Absolute: Quarter finals.
Bustamante signed a four-fight deal with the UFC and faced Yoji Anjo in his promotional debut at UFC 25 on 14 April 2000.
He won the debut via second-round submission.
He then moved up to light heavyweight to face future champion Chuck Liddell at UFC 33 on 28 September 2001.
He lost the fight via unanimous decision which was hotly contested.
After the controversial loss, Bustamante decided to move back to middleweight division, receiving an immediate title shot against reigning champion Dave Menne at UFC 35 on 11 January 2002.
He claimed the championship via second-round technical knockout.
As the final fight of his contract and the first title defense, Bustamante faced Matt Lindland at UFC 37 on 10 May 2002.
Lindland allegedly tapped to an armbar in the first round and referee McCarthy waved the bout off.
Lindland immediately claimed that he did not tap out and McCarthy resumed the once-finished bout.
Eventually, Bustamante submitted Lindland in the third round and successfully defended his title.
Bustamante was offered a new contract by the UFC, with a permission to entertain other offers as a free agent.
However, when finding out UFC had the best offer on the market and returned to negotiations with them, the organization had lowered their offer to a level preceding the Lindland fight.
Bustamante ended up signing with PRIDE in 2003.
In addition to competing for the UFC, he has also fought in PRIDE, making it to the Pride Shockwave 2005 Final, and also fought in Yarennoka!
Bustamante was born in coastal Rio de Janeiro and originally had dreams of professional surfing, but began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu soon after having his first fight when he was 10 years old.
He began officially competing when he was 15, before adding judo, and then began boxing when he was 18.
He has won numerous world titles in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which includes the World Championships of Jiu-Jitsu.
