The Brazilian Thiago Michel, 27 years old, signed with Bellator last week. Considered as one of the main revelations of national MMA in 2010, the athlete from Minas Gerais is happy with the opportunity to fight in the United States.
“My perspective now is to train triple and always keep my feet on the ground to be able to represent the Ely Kickboxing Team well abroad. I'm happy to have been able to advance on the merit of my work and to have reached where I am”, says Thiago, who promises more. “This is just the beginning,” he added.
In turn, the Bellator organization was happy to acquire the national revelation. The event's founder, Bjorn Rebney, stated that Thiago Michel's striking style will fit perfectly into the show.
“Bellator has only gotten stronger with another tremendously talented fighter.” “I am very happy to have added Thiago to our organization and his style will fit perfectly into this electrifying division,” said the manager.
Although the contract has been signed since last week, there is still no official date for Thiago Michel's debut at Bellator.
