“Fighting is not difficult, you just need to have courage and train hard to be prepared for what happens inside. It's difficult to go over everything that happens before the octagon and still preserve your mental health to the point of achieving a level of concentration that allows you to do a good job. Yesterday was a battle, a good fight the way I like it”, wrote Berinja.

Berinja was hired by Ultimate in 2018, however, his time in the largest MMA organization in the world will not leave good memories. In four fights, Anderson suffered three defeats and was fired in the second half of 2021. The Brazilian athlete has an MMA record of 21 triumphs and nine setbacks.
