Just looked him up career. And he might have the best MMA underdog story. Beating a prime Gegard Mousasi that ran through the UFC Middleweight Division.

He’s also the second nom Brazilian to ever win a bjj world championship, the first one being bj penn

Rafael is a great guy, had a seminar with him one time and he’s awesome. It’s good to see him repping my gym Six Blades Jiu-Jitsu as well, as he won Silver at ADCC recently at 41 years old, which is extremely impressive

Wow wow💪 glad he knew to walk away, there is plenty of cte fighters out there. Left on an absolute high note, great stuff!

I've been to like 3 of his seminars for bjj and he's a beast

[AITCHESSPEE]

Mousasi claims dude was on “monkey steroids” hahahah

[tylerlynch]

He was an amazing fighter and had the sense of mind to step away when his health was on the line

[Bucephalus]

My old bjj coach. Lovato Bjj represent.

That head kicked looked nasty at the start

[bigboss]

11-0, Had win over Kevin Holland and Gegard Mousasi, and he's a BIG Middleweight, definitely could've start some shit in the Ufc if he joined during covid era

[burgerwithnohoneymustard]

he's still winning in life that's great to know 👍

[MoleCiller]

What the condition called? This is important for everyone

[vlada]

I always thought he was Brazilian. Then around time he retired I heard him speak with Big John and he spoke American English. Turns out he is American.😂

[BlackWolf-elgu]

You can’t say someone could’ve been the greatest if he never even competed in the UFC

[mattstone]

To all the “he was juiced tho” people, wouldn’t all his competition have just as much of a chance to be on roids also? So that factor doesn’t matter if they were all doing it.

Seems like he was pretty great already
