De Freitas has split his first two UFC appearances, picking up a win over Felipe Colares in February 2019, then getting edged out by Chris Gutierrez at UFC on ESPN+ 14 last August. He was scheduled to face Jack Shore at UFC on ESPN+ 29 in March, but the event was canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak.
