After kicking off his professional fighting career in 2004 with a win, Bibiano Fernandes returned two years later and suffered back-to-back losses to the two best featherweights in the world at the time in Urijah Faber and Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto. Following these losses, Fernandes returned with a vengeance in 2008 and finally put his BJJ black belt to use when he won seven straight fights, including the Dream Featherweight Grand Prix, defeating the likes of Joe Warren and Hiroyuki Takaya in the process. While he is still developing on his feet and has yet to notch a TKO victory, Fernandes is one of the best functional submission artists in the featherweight division.
