Rodolfo Bellato has made quite a mark in just two UFC fights. The unranked light heavyweight knocked out the ever-dangerous Ukrainian brawler Ihor Potieria at his UFC debut to make a powerful statement. But his second UFC fight– a draw against Jimmy Crute– prove to be an even more interesting bout as it was scored a draw by the judges.
But now, he faces an important test as the Brazilian sets up to face another veteran, giant killer Paul Craig on May 17, 2025. ‘Bear Jew’, of course, dampened Bo Nickal‘s massive hype in his last fight. A win here and Bellato could be fighting a ranked opponent next. Which, of course, is the first step to any fighter making a title run. As he approaches the highest level that the sport has to offer, it is important to remember that his success, at least in part, owes to the love and support of his picturesque family. Which is why, in this article we take a look at everything we know about ‘Trator’s family life.

What we know for sure is that Rodolfo Bellato is married. It seems that the Sao Paulo native likes to keep his personal life private, and hasn’t really talked about his family or wife much. But there are his social media posts, which clearly show that ‘Trator’ is happily married to a woman named Patricia Stoupa.

But apart from that we don’t know much else, including how long he has been married, how the couple met, or how long they dated before tying the knot. Like Bellato, his wife seems to be Brazilian too. And since the light heavyweight is based out of the Brazilian metropolis of Rio de Janeiro, where his ‘KO Squad MMA’ gym is located, so it is likely Stoupa lives there, too.
All about Rodolfo Bellato’s kids
Rodolfo Bellato became a father to an adorable baby boy in late 2024. The Brazilian light heavyweight’s wife, Patricia Stoupa, sporting a clear baby bump and with Bellato by her side, sent out a post on her Instagram announcing her pregnancy, and the fact that they intended to name him Matteo.

“After many years, we are here taking another step in our relationship… The arrival of our son, Matteo.
A movie played in my head of everything we’ve been through and now we’re here realizing another dream together, I love you 💙,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
Since then, Matteo has appeared in many of the family pictures Stoupa and Bellato share on their social media. At the moment, the couple only have this one child, and seem to be the picture of an ideal family. The birth of his first child will also undoubtedly be a great motivation for the Brazilian UFC star, who is on the cusp of making it into the big leagues. What do you think about Rodolfo Matteo’s picture-perfect family?
