When and why did you start training for fighting? 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.
Training: Wake up in the morning for physical training, in the afternoon, boxing training, and in the evening, Jiu Jitsu training.
What ranks and titles have you held? Invicta FC atomweight champion. I had many Jiu-Jitsu titles - I was Brazilian champion three times and I was world champion, and I also got a second place in the Long Beach Worlds
Do you have any heroes? Yes, all my family, my coaches and my followers who never gave up on me; to me, they are my heroes.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? Fighting in the UFC is the reward of my life. I gave up everything to live this dream. I didn't have a social life, and my life is summarized as follows: from home to gym, from the gym to my home. I gave myself body and soul to this.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Yes, I completed college in social work.
What was your job before you started fighting? I had a jiu-jitsu academy, and I taught and created a social project for children and teenagers. I closed the academy to focus only on MMA. I graduated, but I never wanted to practice my profession as a social worker; my love was always for fighting. I was always very competitive, I fought all the jiu-jitsu events, I went around the world fighting, and this is my true profession. It’s what I want for the rest of my life.
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? In Jiu-Jitsu, I won the biggest titles - World and Brazilian of the IBJJF, CBJJ, CBJJE.
