When and why did you start training for fighting? I always watched a lot of fight movies when I was a kid like The Big White Dragon (Bloodsport in the U.S.) I think this was one of the most memorable films for me and as a teenager I started to see VHS MMA fights like the first UFC and that desire to be a fighter was growing every day. I practiced the sport more at 17 years old when I had the opportunity to train jiu-jitsu, and from then on, I never stopped and I did my first MMA fight at 19 years old.
