It is a common understanding in combat sports that experience in competition often fosters a sense of maturity and calm disposition. For a few fighters, like Thiago Moises, beyond being armed with physical prowess, he strides into the Octagon with a wealth of experience that belies his age. The Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight contender’s career is a testament to his unwavering dedication to perpetual improvement. He emanates a mindset of constant growth as he asserts, “I’m not even close to my prime.” Those words underscore his insatiable hunger for growth.
At just 28, he has competed across several renowned mixed martial arts promotions and has fought against the best names of the UFC’s 155-pound bracket over an 11-fight stretch under the organization’s banner.
