For MMA’s love triangle, it’s all about the journey

Ricardo Sattelmayer and Aline Sattelmayer got married and started their MMA careers in a small town just outside Sao Paulo, Brazil. But he felt something was missing.

The answer, as it turned out, was a form of domestic partnership that’s not only frowned upon, but illegal in most modern societies.

Ricardo and Aline traveled the world for the love of the sport and found that missing passion back home in an unusual form: polygamy.
