Fernando Padilla (born December 12, 1996) is a Mexican professional mixed martial artist who currently competes in featherweight division of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Background

Padilla's involvement with sports began at a young age, when as a child he would defend himself against those who tried to intimidate him. He started practicing karate and Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the 10th Planet Chihuahua gym, where he began his transition to MMA.

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Padilla began his professional career in April 2015, and achieved an undefeated 5–0 record before being defeated in March 2017 by Dan Ige at a Cage Fury Championships event.

During the next four years, Padilla competed for various promotions, including Legacy Fighting Alliance and King of the Cage, where he amassed 7 wins and 3 losses.

Fury FC champion

On May 16, 2021, at Fury FC 46, Padilla defeated Cameron Graves by technical knockout after a knee strike in the second round, becoming the new Fury FC champion. It was his last fight before signing with the UFC. In that fight, he caught Dana White's attention when he executed the spinning elbow that gave him the victory.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Padilla made his UFC promotional debut against Julian Erosa on April 29, 2023, at UFC on ESPN 45. He won the fight by technical knockout in the first round.

Padilla faced Kyle Nelson on September 16, 2023, at UFC Fight Night 227. He lost the fight by unanimous decision.

Padilla faced Luis Pajuelo on March 23, 2024, at UFC on ESPN 53. He won the fight by submission with a Brabo choke in the first round. This victory earned him the Performance of the Night award.
