Godofredo de Oliveira is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist who competes in the featherweight division. A professional MMA competitor since 2003, Pepey has made a name for himself fighting all over his home country of Brazil. He is currently signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and was the featherweight runner up on Globo's The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil.
MMA career
Pepey got his start in martial arts training alongside his brother, Godofredo Claudio, a black belt in BJJ.[1] Pepey had his first professional MMA fight in 2003, at the age of fifteen, winning the fight via submission (armbar) in the first round. Pepey took a three year hiatus from fighting after making his debut. He returned to active competition in April 2006 with a win over William Couto via submission. Pepey took an 18 month layoff from fighting before coming back with a win over Jesse Santiago via first round submission.
After going 3-0, Pepey again took a lengthy time off from MMA competition. He took nearly three years off for the second time in his career before coming back to earn his TKO victory over Nino Bala on February 6, 2010. Pepey continued fighting regularly, earning another stoppage win on July 3, 2010 in a rematch against Leandro Rodrigues Pontes after Leandro submitted due to strikes. He fought debuting fighter, Fabio Emanuel Rodrigues, at Combat Fighters Championship 1 on September 18, 2010. Pepey dominated the fight throughout the first round, and won the fight after Rorigues wouldn't not answer for the second round. Pepey earned two more first round submission wins, bringing his record to 8-0, before tryouting out for the first installment of the The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil.
The Ultimate Fighter
In March 2012, it was revealed that Pepey was selected to be a participant on The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil.[2] Pepey defeated Johnny Goncalves via submission in the first round to move into the Ultimate Fighter house, and become an official cast member.[3]
Pepey was selected as the sixth pick (twelfth overall) by Vitor Belfort, to be a part of Team Vitor. In the first quarter-final fight Pepey was selected to fight Wagner Galeto. Pepey won via unanimous decision after two rounds.[4]
After Team Vitor went 7-1, Dana White demanded the teams being scrambled in order to make it a fair contest. Pepey was selected by Vitor to go to Team Wanderlei Silva.[5] Pepey was selected to fight Strikeforce veteran Rodrigo Damm in the first semi-final fight. However, after the doctors removed Damm from the competition, Pepey fought Marcos Vinicius. Pepey won the fight via second round submission, advancing him to the finals of the featherweight tournament.[5]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Pepey made his UFC debut at UFC 147 on June 23, 2012 against Rony "Jason" Mariano to determine the featherweight winner of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil. He lost the fight via unanimous decision.
