Multiple-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion Yuri Simoes made his mixed martial arts debut in late 2020 with ONE Championship, but the result was not what he had hoped for with his transition. The talented Brazilian grappler lost to Fan Rong and was sent back to the drawing board.
At ONE: Full Circle on Friday, February 25, he makes his return to the Circle to show the world his first bout was merely an aberration against Daniyal Zainalov.
Simoes battled numerous injuries going into his ONE debut but thought he could overcome the limitations.
