Marcus Buchecha Almeida is determined to make his MMA debut soon.
The four time Absolute Winner at Mundials said that while there’s no time for his MMA debut in the 2nd half of 2016, he’s determined to make it happen in 2017. Buchecha said:
“I’m not on the fence, but I haven’t really had any fantastic proposals yet, nothing has really attracted me that much. I’ve been training wrestling and it’s sharp, you can see how many guys I’ve taken down in the Mundial. I will get back to training boxing, too. It’s a sport that involves too much rotation and I avoided it because of my knee. I’ll begin again, wait for a good proposal and see what happens next. There was too much speculation and nothing solid. I need to be 100%. MMA has a lot of impact. I’ll be kicked in the knee, so next year sounds more real. It won’t be after 2017.”
The 26 year old beast grappler has said he will train at the American Kickboxing Academy, home of many current UFC competitors. Daniel Cormier, Luke Rockhold, Cain Velasquez and Khabib Nurgomedov are just some of the talents that have gone through the American Kickboxing Academy before achieving prestigious status at the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
