“Few people know, but yesterday Delan Monte and I saw death up close. We were in the ambulance after the fight when a driver, without seeing the red light, passed the intersection and ended up in the middle of the ambulance, which almost overturned. Our luck was that ambulances here in the United States are covered in steel and armored, and that was what held the blow. Life is a blow. We came out without almost any scratches due to great luck”, wrote Lucas.

Participant in the light heavyweight tournament in the 2022 PFL season, Delan debuted after being submitted by his compatriot Antonio Shoe Guy and, subsequently, knocked out Argentine Emiliano Sordi in the first round. In the semi-final of the competition, which took place last Friday (05), the Brazilian had a good start, but was knocked out by Rob Wilkinson in the initial stage. The Tupinquim athlete has a record of nine triumphs and three setbacks in the sport.
