Igor Severino record: 9-1-0 and eight finishes before the Holzer title fight

Igor Severino is the OKTAGON bantamweight champion at 23, and eight of his nine professional wins have ended before the judges got involved. On 7 November 2026 he defends against the unbeaten Max Holzer in the main event of Oktagon 97 in Hanover.

Igor Severino record: 9-1-0 with one no contest

"The Hannibal" is 9-1-0 with one no contest, fighting out of Chute Boxe João Emilio. Four of his wins came by KO or TKO, four by submission and one by decision. That is a finish rate of 89%, counted as the share of wins that ended by KO, TKO or submission.

The single loss is unusual. It was not a knockout, a submission or a decision. It was a disqualification, and he has never been stopped or submitted in a professional fight. He sits on a two-fight winning streak, with a no contest in between, and has won three of his last five.

He made his professional debut on 15 December 2018. His wins on the Jungle Fight circuit show a fighter who finished opponents in a variety of ways: a north-south choke, a guillotine choke, and two TKOs by punches.

Last five fights

Date	Opponent	Result	Method	Round
6 Jun 2026	Zhalgas Zhumagulov	No contest	NC	2
7 Mar 2026	Khurshed Kakhorov	Win	TKO	5
29 Dec 2024	Jonas Mågård	Win	Decision	3
23 Mar 2024	André Lima	Loss	DQ (biting)	2
27 Aug 2022	Manoel Rodrigues de Lima	Win	TKO (punches)	2

Both of his most recent OKTAGON appearances were bantamweight title fights. The win over Kakhorov in March went into the fifth round before the TKO arrived. The June fight against Zhumagulov was stopped in the second round and went into the books as a no contest.

The UFC detour and the biting disqualification

Severino's UFC appearance came at flyweight, on the Ribas vs. Namajunas card in March 2024. The fight against André Lima ended in the second round with a disqualification for biting, which is the only loss on his record.

Since then his career has been at OKTAGON, at bantamweight. He beat Jonas Mågård on the cards in December 2024, and his two fights in 2026 were both for the title. The disqualification cost him a result, and his record shows nothing else of its kind.

Build and style

Severino stands 170 cm with a 177 cm reach and fights from an orthodox stance. The reach is longer than his height, and the finish record shows he converts it into strikes and into submissions alike. The split between KO and submission wins is even, so there is no single dominant weapon to game plan against.

He is not only a striker. Two of his early wins came by choke in the first round, a north-south choke and a guillotine. His one decision win, over Jonas Mågård, is the only time in nine wins that he needed the scorecards.

Next fight: Max Holzer at Oktagon 97

Oktagon 97: Severino vs. Holzer takes place on 7 November 2026 in Hanover, Germany. It is a bantamweight title fight and the main event. Holzer arrives at 12-0-0, so the champion who finishes his fights meets a challenger who has not lost.

For Severino it is the first fight since the no contest in June, and a chance to put a clean result back on his record. The bantamweight belt is on the line in Hanover.
