I already have a story that's been seen in Glory and I have had many highs and lows, victories and defeats. That brought me experience and it will help me a lot to gain the desired world title.

What motivates me is to be able to do what I love to do . . . fight

I practice the martial arts. I don't practice MMA. MMA is my job, MMA is a new sport. Martial arts is the knowledge from the ages.

I am Not The Best, But I Have The Potential To Be Something Great.

I believe I can do things people think are impossible.

When I started out, Jiu-Jitsu was really an elite thing in Brazil, and there was some prejudice towards poorer kids, so I had to learn things on my own. Some of my neighbours started doing Jiu-Jitsu, so I started watching it, and then started rolling with them. It wasn’t organized training, but it was better than nothing.
