- Story: Rafael Feijao’s introduction to MMA was one of a kind. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira happened to be in Feijao’s hometown in Brazil on business. He was looking to squeeze in some training and asked a few locals if they could recommend someone that would be good to train with. Without pause, they recommended Feijao.
Trained by his father in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since a young age, Feijao had a basement that doubled as a training area. Nogueira and Feijao trained together and the current heavyweight champion was so impressed with Feijao’s skills that he invited him to start training MMA with him. The rest is history, or should we say, the future?
In addition to outstanding grappling credentials holding a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Feijao’s striking is starting to make major strides under the tutelage of middleweight champion Anderson Silva. With Nogueira as your grappling coach and Silva as your striking coach, how can you go wrong? After having moved from heavyweight to light heavyweight, Feijao looked like a future top-ten fighter while making a successful EliteXC debut this past February. - MMA Record: 7-1
