Background
[edit]Son of a Brazilian father and an Uruguayan mother, Garagorri spends most of his time in Santana do Livramento, a Brazilian city that’s on the other side of the border from the Uruguayan city of Rivera. Garagorri has been fighting professionally since 2015, when he decided to quit his job as a lawyer at his mother’s law firm to dedicate himself full time to martial arts.[2]
Mixed martial arts career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Starting his career in 2015, Garagorri compiled a perfect 12–0 record fighting for a variety of regional Uruguayan and Brazilian promotions, before he was scouted by the UFC for their first event in Uruguay at UFC Fight Night: Shevchenko vs. Carmouche 2.[3]
