Known as one of the most decorated athletes in the history of the 'gentle art', Buchecha has impressed since making his transition to martial arts. At 32 years old, the Brazilian managed to score two victories, against Anderson Braddock and Kang Ji Won, both in the first round, by submission. The fights, combined, lasted less than five minutes.

'Reug Reug' also competed in grappling, but is based on Senegalese wrestling – known as Laamb. The athlete has a record of three positive results and one negative, in addition to having lost to Kirill Grishenko in his last appearance, which took place in April 2021.

The duel is scheduled to take place in the heavyweight division (up to 120,2kg), in an event that features fights for kickboxing and muay-thai world titles.
