Viscardi Andrade Guimarães (born March 8, 1984) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist, who currently fights in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Andrade was a competitor on the second Brazilian season of The Ultimate Fighter. Andrade defeated Thiago Goncalves in the preliminary round, before being chosen as Team Werdum's fourth pick. Andrade fought Goncalves for the second time after he had been brought back as an injury replacement for Neilson Gomes, winning by TKO in the first round. Andrade then taunted Team Nogueira, causing friction between the teams.

In the quarter-final round, Andrade defeated David Vieira by unanimous decision to advance to the semis. He faced William Macário, losing by technical knockout in the third round.

Andrade made his promotional debut against Bristol Marunde on August 3, 2013 at UFC 163. He won the fight via TKO in the first round.

Andrade faced Nico Musoke on February 15, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 36. Despite dropping and almost finishing Musoke in the first round, Andrade lost the fight via unanimous decision.

Andrade was expected to face promotional newcomer Andreas Ståhl on July 26, 2014 at UFC on Fox 12. However, Andrade was forced from the bout due to injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Gilbert Burns.

The bout with Andreas Ståhl has been rescheduled and is expected to take place on June 27, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 70. Subsequently, the bout was scrapped during the week leading up to the event as Ståhl was forced out of the bout with an injury.
