Cabral made his professional MMA debut fighting in Luxembourg in December 2007. Over the next four years, he quickly amassed an undefeated record of 10-0. All of his wins have come via submission with Cabral never having been into the third round in any of his fights.
In 2011, Cabral signed with DREAM to compete in their welterweight division. In his debut, he faced Kazushi Sakuraba at Dream.17. Cabral won the fight via submission in the second round, earning him his highest profile win to date.
In March 2013, it was revealed that Cabral was a cast member of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2. He won his elimination fight to get into the TUF house, defeating Ronaldo Oliveira Silva by rear naked choke submission in round 1. He was chosen to be a member of Team Werdum and defeated David Vieira before being removed from the show due to a broken hand.
Cabral made his official UFC debut at UFC Fight Night: Maia vs. Shields, where he defeated David Mitchell by unanimous decision.
In his second fight for the promotion, Cabral faced Zak Cummings at UFC Fight Night: Brown vs. Silva. Despite controlling Cummings on the ground for a large portion of the fight, Cabral lost the fight by unanimous decision.
