Famed MMA coach Pablo Sucupira believes that figuring out what type of animal you are is key to becoming a world champion.
Sucupira founded the popular Fighting Nerds team (formerly Club Sao Paulo) alongside sixth-ranked middleweight contender Caio Borralho. In the years since, the gym has seen a slew of top-shelf talent emerge inside the Octagon, including knockout artist Jean Silva, streaking welterweight standout Carlos Prates, and rising lightweight contender Mauricio ‘One Shot’ Ruffy.
With an immense amount of success in such a short period of time, Sucupira revealed what he believes is an important part of the process in building a future champion.
