In March 2013, it was revealed that Cabral was a cast member of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2.[4] He won his elimination fight to get into the TUF house, defeating Ronaldo Oliveira Silva by rear naked choke submission in round 1. He was chosen to be a member of Team Werdum and defeated David Vieira before being removed from the show due to a broken hand.[5]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Cabral made his official UFC debut at UFC Fight Night: Maia vs. Shields, where he defeated David Mitchell by unanimous decision.[6]
In his second fight for the promotion, Cabral faced Zak Cummings at UFC Fight Night: Brown vs. Silva. Despite controlling Cummings on the ground for a large portion of the fight, Cabral lost the fight by unanimous decision.
Cabral returned on October 25, 2014 at UFC 179, where he faced Naoyuki Kotani. Cabral won the fight via second round rear naked choke.
