What have you been working on this fight camp? As always, our camps have been focused on adding new tools to our arsenal as well as studying very closely the game of our opponent. It has worked well so far and I’m confident it will work well once again.
Who are your main training partners? For this camp my main training partners have been two of the best fighters in Brazil. Felipe Douglas, my long time sparring partner and a guy with over 35 MMA fights, and Lucas Rafael, an undefeated 7-0 23-year-old prospect who is a great kickboxer and simulated JDM like no one else would be able to.
When and why did you start training for fighting? In my city, at 15 years old, I was having a lot of trouble with bad choices in life, then my mum came to take me to the gym to train and make me calm down and try to learn martial arts philosophy.
What professional titles have you held? Bangla stadium champion (Thailand) Glory of Heroes champ (China) Sft (Brasil)
What are your current ranks in martial arts? BJJ Black Belt, Black Belt in Muay Thai
What fight do you consider to be the key fight in your career and why? Leon Edwards, because it was my first time fighting a world champ.
Who is your favorite fighter and why? Anderson Silva. He is the GOAT for me.
Beyond a championship or money, what motivates you? To be honest, only the championship and money lol
