Rafael Xavier’s record, in numbers

Rafael Xavier’s official record is 15-9. Every figure on this page is counted instead from the 23 bouts Cage Brothers holds a result for — 15 wins, 8 losses — because 1 bout from the official record is not in the history we hold.

The 15 wins break down as 10 by knockout, 3 by submission and 2 by decision — 13 of 15 inside the distance, a finish rate of 87%. Across the 22 of 23 bouts with a recorded finishing round, the average bout lasted 7 minutes 43 seconds.

Rafael Xavier has been stopped once in the 23 bouts on file, by knockout — 4% of them.

Of the 23 bouts Cage Brothers holds a result for, 1 was for a title. Three of them have come since September 2024.

Set against the 33 Light Heavyweight fighters Cage Brothers holds eight or more bouts for, Rafael Xavier has a finish rate above 61% of them, a record of avoiding stoppage above 73% of them and a two-year bout count above 9% of them. The comparison is made inside the division rather than across the whole roster, because how often a division finishes depends heavily on what it weighs.

Rafael Xavier is listed at 6ft 4in with a reach of 78in and is 35, born 12 January 1991.

These figures are recomputed from Rafael Xavier’s bout history each time results are synced, so they follow the record rather than a fixed snapshot.
