Cezar Jesus Ferreira (born February 15, 1985) is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist who competes in the middleweight division. A professional MMA competitor since 2007, Mutante has fought in Brazil and in the United States. He is currently signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), competing on Globo's The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil.
MMA career
Ferreira grew up wrestling and doing jiujitsu throughout his childhood and adolescence. He would watch old tapes of Royce Gracie fighting, causing his interest in Jiu-Jitsu and MMA to grow.[1] However, after having a rough home life and having to leave at seventeen years old, Mutante found Vitor Belfort who took him in as his own son, helping to raise him and take care of him. Belfort began training Ferreira in MMA at his gym.[2]
On April 29, 2007, Ferreira made his professional debut in a one night middleweight tournament for Xtreme Fighting Championships (Brazil). He fought Andre Severo, winning via TKO at 1:29 of round one. In the next round of the tournament, Ferreira suffered his first defeat, losing to Antonio Braga Neto via decision. Ferreira took a long leave of absences from fighting after his wife got pregnant.
Three years after his debut, Ferreira returned to active competition, fighting on the Bitetti Combat 6 card against Felipe Arinelli. Ferreira won the fight after chocking Arinelli unconscious with a brabo choke in the second round. Only a few months later Ferreira, again, fought for Bitetti Combat, fighting on their seventh event. He defeated Cassiano Ricardo Castanho de Freitas via TKO (doctor stoppage) in the second round.
Ferreira then traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada, United States to train with Vitor at Xtreme Couture.[1] He was placed on the Ring of Fire 40 card in Broomfield, Colorado on April 16, 2011. Ferreira defeated Chaun Sims via KO only 17 seconds into round one. Ferreira took his second professional defeat at Superior Cage Combat 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 20, 2011, losing to Elvis Mutapcic via KO.
The Ultimate Fighter
In March 2012, it was revealed that Mutante was selected to be a participant on The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil. Mutante defeated Gustavo Sampaio by submission with a guillotine choke in the second round to move into the Ultimate Fighter house, and become an official cast member.
Mutante was selected as the first pick (second overall) by his mentor and real-life coach Vitor Belfort to be apart of Team Belfort. In the second middleweight fight of the season, Mutante was selected to fight Leonardo Macarrao. Mutante won via submission (guillotine choke) in the second round.[3] He was then scheduled to face Thiago "Bodao" Perpetuo for a spot in the final against Daniel Sarafian. He defeated Bodao by knockout (head kick) and was expected to face Sergio Moraes, who replaced for Sarafian due to an injury.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Mutante was expected to make his UFC debut on June 23, 2012 at UFC 147 against Daniel Sarafian to determine the winner of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil. However, Sarafian injured himself and was forced out of the bout and replaced by Sergio Moraes.[4] Mutante won the fight via unanimous decision.
