Marcus ‘Buchecha’ Almeida is growing more and more frustrated with his employer.

It’s been more than a year since we last saw the 17-time BJJ world champion step inside the cage. Venting his frustration on Instagram, ‘Buchecha’ suggested that his lengthy layoff is due to ONE Championship not doing its due diligence to find him a fight.

“A lot of people are asking me lately if I retired. The answer is of course not, the reason I’m not fighting it’s not my choice, I’ve been out waiting for a fight for almost one year but I don’t have luck getting a fight, that’s the reason I’m away from cage or the mats.
