Impact We're now three fights into Almeida's UFC run and the results are concerning, to say the least. The 36-year-old is one of the most decorated athletes in the history of BJJ, but his transition to MMA has been a struggle. As good as Almeida is on the mat, he's displayed no ability to consistently get his opposition to the ground. He seems to be rushing in the rare instances in which he's in an advantageous position and his striking is nowhere to be found. Guys with Almeida's pedigree typically get a longer leash but he's now winless (0-2-1) since arriving on the scene.
