After carving out a successful career in jiu-jitsu, the black belt Gilbert Durinho seems to start the same path in MMA. The Brazilian, who debuted in amateur MMA in August 2011, submitting Christian Fowler, repeated the feat in his professional debut. In action this weekend, in Utah, in the United States, Durinho only needed the first round to submit José Salgado with a rear naked choke and guarantee his debut with the right foot as a professional.
“I did well, thank God. I was calm. The guy was very tough in wrestling, but I took his back and submitted him. It was awesome!”, wrote Durinho on his Twitter account after the fight.
Yes, Vitor belfort, who was in the Brazilian's corner, praised his training partner's performance. He was accurate and very effective. It was awesome! He is very talented and will still be UFC champion one day,”
