• Former semi-professional soccer player in Brazil (which would qualify him as a pro soccer player in most other countries)
• Is a big fan of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo (in Brazil) and British Premier League team Chelsea Football Club (London, owned by billionaire Roman Abramovich)
• Has large scar on left side of his face and said he suffered the injury when “I was just a baby and my mom wasn’t paying attention for a moment when my sisters rolled me onto the barbeque pit being used for a 1986 World Cup party.”
• Raised in extreme poverty in Manaus, Brazil (now fighting out of Rio). Would train Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai, often on an empty stomach or little food. His teammates, such as Wagnney Fabiano, would give him a sandwich or other food to eat.
• WEC and UFC featherweight champ who is undefeated in past five years, 8-0 in WEC. Widely regarded as top-5 on the pound-for-pound rankings.
• World MMA Awards (presented by Fighter’s Only magazine’s) 2010 Fighter of the Year
• Describes thrill of the KO as “one of the best feelings in the world.” Note: 12 of his 19 wins have come via KO or TKO.
