Leandro Issa (born September 19, 1983) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist. He is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and has won numerous BJJ competitions and tournaments including the Mundials and the Brazilian national championships.[3] He is a member of the Evolve MMA team and is based in Singapore.[4]

Mixed martial arts career

Fighting in Brazil

Issa made his professional MMA debut in October 2006 submitting Eduardo Felipe in the second round. He was handed the first loss of his MMA career in May 2007 when he was stopped in the third round by Japanese fighter Takafumi Otsuka. In total Issa fought five times in Brazil during this period, winning three fights and losing two.[5]

War Gods

Issa's first fight outside of Brazil was at War Gods in California. He defeated Ralph Lopez by rear naked choke in the opening round.[5]

Art of War

Issa moved to Singapore to join the Evolve MMA fight team in January 2009. His first fight in Asia was for the Art of War Fighting Championship promotion in China. He submitted Korean fighter Yeong Gwang Choi with a triangle choke in the first round.

Martial Combat

In 2010 Issa signed with Martial Combat and he fought three times for this promotion, winning every single fight by way of first round submission. His win over Gui Quan Lin at Martial Combat 11 was his fifth consecutive first round submission win[6] and he has finished all five fights with a different submission.[5]

In 2011 Issa decided he would drop down to the bantamweight division.

ONE Fighting Championship

On July 15, 2011, it was announced that Issa had signed with One Fighting Championship.[7] On July 18 it was announced that Issa would be facing unbeaten Korean Soo Chul Kim at ONE Fighting Championship: Champion vs. Champion at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on September 3.[8]

This fight was Issa's first as a bantamweight. Although Soo Chul Kil had a record of 4–1,[9] Issa has been described as the toughest opponent he has ever faced.[10] Issa won the fight via unanimous decision.

Issa's next fight was against Japanese veteran Masakazu Imanari at ONE Fighting Championship: Destiny of Warriors in Kuala Lumpur in June 2012. He won by unanimous decision.[11]
