UFC 88: BREAKTHROUGH

 

Thoughts on opponent, Tomasz Drwal? I saw some of his fights, and I think that his standup is his strongest game. He looks to be a good fighter, well rounded. But I think it will be a good fight for my game. I am training hard and improving my skills.

Training: I have been training with my team, Brazilian Top Team, every day. Murilo Bustamante is my coach, he is the one that teaches me and tells me what I need to do to improve my skills, how I have to fight, and which strategy is best to use for each fight. I have a lot of friends on my team and all of them support me and push me higher.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I began training many years ago because I love the sport.

What ranks and titles have you held? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt; Won Fury Middleweight Grand Prix in Brazil

Do you have any heroes? God

What is your favorite technique?  All kinds of submissions

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC?  It was my dream

What was your job before you started fighting?  Worked on the farm
