Kaue Fernandes is 3-1 in the UFC. All four of his fights on record came at lightweight.

He lost his debut on Nov. 4, 2023, dropping a split decision to Marc Diakiese.

Three wins have followed. Fernandes knocked out Mohammad Yahya in the first round on Aug. 3, 2024, beat Guram Kutateladze by unanimous decision over three rounds on March 22, 2025, and knocked out Harry Hardwick in the first round on Sept. 6, 2025.

His last bout on record is the Hardwick win. Two of his three UFC wins are first-round finishes, and the split decision against Diakiese is the only fight in his file he has lost.

Significant strikes only, as recorded by UFCStats, across the fighter's whole UFC career. Shares are raw counts — nothing here is modelled or smoothed. Accuracy is landed ÷ attempted and comes from the per-round tape, which covers slightly fewer fights than the totals do. “Field” is the average fighter in that weight class, or across every division where a class is too small to average.

Rate bars run to the population’s 95th percentile (5.22 takedowns / 15m); a fighter above it pins the bar. Percentages are drawn on their own axis.

Career UFC takedown rates exactly as UFCStats publishes them: takedowns landed per 15 minutes, completion rate, submission attempts per 15 minutes, and the share of takedowns tried on them that they stuffed. Attempts per 15 is the one derived figure — landed ÷ completion rate — and it is omitted wherever either input is missing. UFCStats writes 0% where no attempt was recorded at all, so a percentage of exactly zero reads “n/a” here rather than as a measured rate. “Field” is the average fighter in that weight class, or across every division where a class is too small to average.
