When and why did you start training for fighting? I started with Kung Fu when I was eight years old with my older brother. When I started MMA training I was just looking to challenge myself with new goals and I got really good at it.

What ranks and titles have you held? I'm a BJJ purple belt with several titles in BJJ competitions in the south of Brazil.

Do you have any heroes? My mother. She is a really humble, determined and loyal person. She taught me everything and I really look up to her as a woman and a human being.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It is a dream that will come true on May 11. I worked very hard to get this opportunity and I will give my life to it.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Yes, I studied and I have a degree in languages: Portuguese - English

What was your job before you started fighting? I was an English teacher here in Brazil and I also had some martial arts students. 

Favorite grappling technique: I really like submissions; doesn't matter if it's a choke or an armbar or triangle choke. I like to finish fights.

Favorite Striking technique: I really like to use my knees; it is a very powerful technique.
