Multi-time jiu-jitsu world champion Talita Alencar has spent the last two years making the transition to the world of mixed martial arts as she prepares for her pro debut this weekend.
Alencar faces Staci Vega in a strawweight bout on the main card of Titan FC 70. The event takes place this Friday at the Intercontinental Hotel in Miami and streams on UFC Fight Pass.
An American Combat Gym standout under the tutelage of UFC veteran Charles McCarthy, Alencar is now ready to show the world what she’s made of inside the cage.
“I think if you watched my jiu-jitsu fights, you can see that I have a very aggressive style that transitions perfect to MMA,” Alencar told MMA Fighting while appearing on What the Heck.
