Me preparing for my MMA debut…
I was invited to a training session at Fighting Nerds and I was able to see boxing training at a high level and meet several UFC athletes.
Of course, among them, Caio Borralho will now fight in the UFC this weekend.I made some moves to warm up the machine here and then I went to fight.
I thought I was going to do something, but I just got beaten up.I got beaten by my doctor, Dr. Alberto, and my trainer Rodrigao.
I learned a lot, I really liked the reception and the gym.And now the question that won’t be silent: who would like to see baby shark in the UFC in the future?
