Roger Narvaez (born September 9, 1983) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Middleweight division.
Narvaez began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu in 2007 as a way to lose weight and to help keep in shape for his job as a firefighter. He began training in mixed martial arts in 2009, making his professional debut in 2011. Narvaez competed primarily in regional promotions across his native state of Texas where he compiled a record of 6 - 0 before signing with the UFC in the spring of 2014.[2]
Narvaez made his promotional debut as a short notice replacement in a light heavyweight bout against Patrick Cummins on June 7, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 42, replacing an injured Francimar Barroso.[3] Cummins won the fight via second round TKO.[4]
Narvaez faced Luke Barnatt on November 22, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 57.[5] After a very even first two rounds, Narvaez had a huge third round, wobbling Barnatt with a head kick and then dropping him with a right hook. On the ground, Barnatt was able to survive several submission attempts. Narvaez won the bout via split decision.[6]
Narvaez faced Elias Theodorou on March 14, 2015 at UFC 185.[7] After a first round in which Narvaez seemed to control, Narvaez suffered a broken arm in the second round after an attempt to block a kick from Theodorou, and was stopped with a flurry of punches shortly thereafter.[8] In turn, Narvaez was released from the promotion.[9]
Narvaez was booked to compete against Dan Manasoiu in the main event of Submission Hunter Pro 81 on January 22, 2023.[10] Narvaez lost the match by submission, a rear-naked choke.[11]
Narvaez will compete against Nonso Ebede in a superfight at Submission Hunter Pro 87 on October 15, 2023.[12]
