I've fought in front of thousands of people and never responded to the crowd. I got there, did my job, and left.

I was a fan of jujitsu, so that pretty much got me started in fighting. I won a lot of local competitions when I was young and eventually won a ticket to go compete in Rio de Janeiro. In Rio, I struggled a lot in the beginning, living in the gym and not having much to eat, but eventually I joined the Nova Uniao Team and really improved my skills.

I don't cut weight, so it's no problem for me to fight at lightweight.
