1988

Robelis Despaigne (born 9 August 1988), is a Cuban taekwondo practitioner and professional mixed martial artist.

He currently competes in the heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Seven years into his training, Despaigne earned a spot on the national taekwondo team—a position he held for 15 years.

2012

The pinnacle of his taekwondo career came in 2012 when he represented Cuba in the Olympic Games held in London, clinching a bronze medal in the heavyweight category.

In 2012, amidst rumblings of dissatisfaction with the state of sports in Cuba, he decided to make a significant shift.

"I was losing love for the sport in 2012. A lot was going on in Cuba where I wasn’t really happy about the sport,” Despaigne explained. Encouraged by his coach to explore mixed martial arts (MMA), he initially hesitated due to concerns about the knockout-heavy reputation of the sport. Eventually, after watching fights and realizing his potential, Despaigne made the decision to venture into the world of MMA.

Despaigne won the bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the +80 kg event.

He beat Chika Yagazie Chukwumerije in the first round, before losing to Anthony Obame in sudden death in the quarterfinal.

Because Obame reached the final Despaigne was entered into the repechage.

There he beat Kaino Thomsen-Fuataga, with the fight stopped because of the points difference.

He beat Daba Modibo Keita in his bronze medal match by walkover as Keita could not compete due to injury.

Despaigne made his MMA debut against Katuma Mulumba on 3 June 2022 at Titan FC 77.

He won the bout at the end of the first round via TKO stoppage.

He then recorded three fights in 2023, winning all by knockout in less than 20 seconds.

Despaigne was signed by the Ultimate Fighting Championship in December 2023

Despaigne faced Josh Parisian on March 9, 2024, at UFC 299.
