Just like Charles do Bronx , Diego Lima and a large part of the MMA community, André Azevedo, official commentator for UFC Brazil, felt the loss of Allan Puro Osso . In a shocking way, the fighter apparently suffered a heart attack while sleeping and passed away last Monday (3), in São Paulo, at the age of 34. Known for his family side and for moving the public while doing his job, now it was the turn of the Niteroi native himself to express his feelings.
This Thursday (6), André published a video on his official 'Instagram' account visibly sad and reflecting on what happened. And, according to the narrator, what also led him to react to Allan Nascimento's death was the heartfelt account from Charles do Bronx , a longtime friend of his, who was extremely shaken.
Displeased with Puro Osso's death, the MMA legend published a series of tributes, attended his funeral last Wednesday (5), again praised him and asked his fans to show their love and admiration for their loved ones in life . After watching the video, André agreed with the former UFC champion and, as the gentleman he is, expressed his solidarity with the family, friends and fans of the now eternal member of the 'Chute Boxe Diego Lima' academy.

“I thought about it ten times before making this video, so much so that I turned off likes, comments, everything. My intention isn't engagement, nor to gain clicks. My intention is to express myself a little. I was going to make a video about UFC 331, but when I remembered the reason Charles left the fight for Ruffy to enter against Tsarukyan and I saw Charles' video, it gave me a huge lump in my throat ,” said the narrator.
“We lost Allan on Monday, and that day I was with my family and was caught by surprise. It's something that really shakes you up . You realize that life is fleeting, that things happen very quickly, and that everything is gone without you even noticing . Charles' video was very touching, about us hugging people . I felt that a lot ; I was with my children and my wife the day I received the news. It's incredibly difficult, and even though I wasn't that close to him, I had contact with him many times.”
“He came to the studio, recorded with us several times, I met him a lot at events, I knew him since before he arrived at the UFC, back in 2013, when he emerged in that wave of Chute Boxe fighters. So, my embrace goes out to the entire Chute Boxe family, to the Nascimento family, to his mother. It's incredibly difficult . If it's hard for me, imagine how it is for those close to Allan. May God have him in his glory and comfort the hearts of those who remain ,” he concluded.
