In his last fight, against Means, at UFC Fortaleza, Cowboy achieved his sixth victory in the organization. There are two defeats, in addition to the unsuccessful fight mentioned above. The Brazilian has triumphs over relevant names in the lightweight and welterweight divisions, such as KJ Noons (former EliteXC champion), Will Brooks (former Bellator belt holder) and Piotr Hallmann. Setbacks came to Donald Cerrone e Gilbert Durinho, in his Ultimate debut.
Cowboy was involved in controversy in the duel against Brooks, when he did not make the lightweight limit and fought at the weigh-in with the American. After beating him, the Brazilian kept teasing him and Brooks said he was no longer welcome at American Top Team, the gym where Alex did sporadic training. However, the Brazilian's manager, Alex Davis, is one of the founders of ATT and has put an end to the issue. After the failure on the scale, however, the UFC forced him to move up to welterweight, where he says he has adapted.
