Q & A

Q: When and why did you start training for fighting?

ANSWER: I started in Jiu-Jitsu very young at seven years old. I was taken by my father. My father is a black belt, my mother is a black belt and my brothers are black belts. I moved to MMA in 2014, and in 2015, I had my first MMA fight. I wanted to go to MMA because I always wanted to get the biggest achievements of my life, and from my first fight I always believed that I would make it to the biggest MMA event in the world. Even when I had a serious jaw injury and was having several people saying that I would not fight again, I proved the opposite so, for me, nothing else in this world terrifies me today. Only God knows what I suffered to be here.
