When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training for fighting about three years ago. It was a way of staying away from bad company and relapsing from a serious drug problem I had for years. Fighting saved my life. It gave me hope and a purpose when I was lost. 



What ranks and titles have you held? Blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu, I just won Fight of the Year in Brazil for 2017 for a war I had in Curitiba against Marta Souza, the only fighter I couldn’t finish since I joined PRVT.



Do you have any heroes? My mom



What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? A dream come true



What was your job before you started fighting? I worked as a clerk at the Brazilian equivalent of a Farmers Market



Favorite grappling technique: Triangle choke



Favorite Striking technique: Overhand right
