, I just saw your victory. Shall we fight [next]? Everyone likes to see two good heavyweight grapplers fighting each other,” Almeida wrote. “We are in close positions in the ranking, I fought two weeks ago, I think it will be a perfect moment to fight in May. [Are you] ready?”“Fighting in front of an audience was a unique experience, but what affected me even more a UFC Rio was the chance to meet my heroes ‘Minotauro,’ ‘Shogun’ and Aldo,” he said.
“I´m a shy person. When I entered the restaurant and saw him, I was building up the courage to talk to him,” Almeida said. “When he came over first and suggested a picture together, I said, ‘My God, you are my idol. You are the face of Brazil.’” “Maladhinho” hopes that gaining inspiration from his Brazilian idols will eventually propel him to a dream showdown in the Octagon.
“Getting all the support from my heroes just makes me train more to reach my dream of one day being a UFC champion,” Almeida said. “[Jon] Jones is another of my heroes in the sport, and I hope one day I´ll be able to share the Octagon with him.”
