If it was dreaming that Malkadinho, fighter of MMA Baiano, reached the largest fight championship in the world, it is not getting there that he would stop. After winning eight nine fights at the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the dream became the belt, symbol of consecration of the UFC champion. >
“The goal is to dispute the belt, is letting us dream. I always had a dream of making a fight at UFC and today I can say that I’m going to get the belt dispute. For those who wanted to live a dream, make a fight at UFC alone, being living the dream of being able to dispute the belt is a dream come true. So the mission is this, get there, ”he says.>
“The belt means a lot to me. It will be the key to realizing all my dreams. Winning the belt will be a surreal thing for me, my team, my family, my people, my nation. It will be a very surreal thing, very surreal, ”he adds. >
On the way there, other desires can still be fulfilled, such as the expectation of fighting your greatest idol in sport. American fighter Jon Jones is one of the few who have not yet crossed the way of Malhadinho in UFC cards, and undoubtedly the most anticipated by the Bahian. “I’m a big fan of Jon Jones. He is the only fighter I really wanted to fight, that I want to fight. The only one. It’s my idol, ”he says. >
Although Malkadinho follows full of dreams, which he has already won became the reference for every Bahian who dreams in one day win in the fight. Always returning to his city, the fighter became inspiration for the new generation of MMA Baiano. >
“The advice I leave to young people who want, who live the dream of wanting to fight MMA, is that they keep training. Opportunities appear on the blink of an eye, so you have to be prepared for everything. It’s training, dedicating yourself, focusing on what you want, having determination and humility, ”he advises. >
But for him, a skill is more important than any other for success in sport – humility. “Humility is the essence of life. It is the base, the fundamental pieces to live the dream. It is living the purpose, because the reward will come up, the harvest will arrive. ” And more and more, Bahia and the world are more certain that his has arrived. >
