The Full Story

Carlos Candelario is a UFC flyweight athlete and one of the top professional fighters to come out of New England. He compiled a 9-1 record on the regional circuit, establishing himself as one of the best 125-pound fighters in the area before signing with the UFC. Carlos is known for explosive striking and a well-rounded ground game - crisp boxing combined with elite Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling. As an MMA coach he shares the high-level technique and work ethic that got him to the sport's biggest stage. He teaches fundamentals and advanced concepts equally well: footwork, clinch work, grappling transitions, fight strategy. Whether you're a beginner working basic combos or a competitor fine-tuning a game plan, Carlos brings UFC-grade detail to the room.
