When and why did you start training for fighting? I started out because of a social project at school in capoeira and soccer, and through these sports I discovered MMA in a project near the school I was part of.
What professional titles have you held? Three belts - Global Arena, X Force MMA, SFT
What has been your toughest fight to date and why? SFT, when I had my first fight representing the Ribas academy.
Who is your favorite fighter and why? Anderson Silva, because he is playful and always fights with a smile on his face.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Physical education
What was your job before you started fighting? I worked on the construction site with my father
Origin of nickname: Because I just wanted to go to the gym and train, my mother gave me a nickname because I was very vain
Personal Life / Background: I like being with my family, having barbecues, dancing, going out. Alexia Burguesinha is just a name - she came to wage war within the organization, and when it comes to fighting, she puts her heart in the game and faces it without fear.
