“KP- Gui, you’ve also been extremely successful in your career, what makes you reach the top of the podium with this frequency?

GM- I believe in the fact that I have a more versatile game than my opponents in my weight division. 90% of the light feather competitors only fight from the bottom, I train to feel confident and comfortable wherever I am in a match

KP- Gui, who do you see as toughest opponents in this Worlds?

GM- My training partners are my toughest opponents always, I know if I train well against all of them I am certain that I have great chance of doing great at the Worlds. I train witht eh World Champion of the weight above me (brother Rafa) since I’ve started Jiu-Jitsu and that gives me extra confidence. No one is like Rafael

KP- Rafa & Gui, what is that motivates you to train and get better?

MB- The search for new goals, we’ve always dreamed big and we love to work hard. We are young and blessed by the Lord

KP- Atos Team has been showing up big and looking to take the lead in tournaments, to what you attribute that emergence?
