And when he got careless, I took the opportunity to put him on the ground, with a double leg, and close the fight with what I know how to do best”, said Demente, who made a point of highlighting the confidence he acquired in training. transition to MMA with Tito Ortiz and with Rafael Cordeiro.

“What can we say when we train with a guy who is a UFC legend? And with a teacher like Master Rafael Cordeiro? They helped me a lot and that's why this victory goes to them too”, said the black belt.
