When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training because I saw Stallone, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan movies. I thought it was cool and I wanted to learn to defend myself.

Any belts/ ranks in grappling disciplines? Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt

What was your job before you started fighting? I've worked in a motorcycle workshop, I've been a horse farrier and currently I give private Muay Thai lessons

Origin of nickname: “My name is Bruno and I'm big”

Personal Life / Background: Now I have a lot more motivation than before. This will be the first fight with the presence of the love of my life, my little daughter Stella, who will be six months old the day after my fight. This win will be dedicated to her.
