WHAT A NIGHT! 2-0 at UFC Dana White’s Contender Series!

I couldn’t be more proud of these two men and honored to step into battle alongside them.

@luis_francischinelli walked into my gym four years ago with a dream of fighting in the UFC. A tall kickboxer with no grappling experience, barely spoke English, and couldn’t stop a takedown to save his life. (Joking)

Four years later, seven knockouts and a complete transformation into a well rounded MMA fighter, he earned his UFC contract! A dream worked toward together from day one.

This camp was filled with adversity. Injuries, the birth of his daughter, and unexpected challenges at home. He had every reason not to fight, but he pushed through it all. Tonight he showed what it means to be a true champion, both inside the cage and in life. Congratulations, my brother! You earned this!

@erickvisconde.mma is an absolute MONSTER!

This man made weight TWICE in two weeks to face arguably the toughest opponent of the entire DWCS season. An undefeated world champion kickboxer, 9-0 with nine finishes.

Erik went out and put on a grappling masterclass against an extremely dangerous opponent. Unfortunately, the UFC contract didn’t come tonight, but he proved he belongs there. AGAIN!

A contract doesn’t define that performance or the fighter you’ve become. We know where you belong, and we’re not stopping until we get there. So proud of you, brother!

As a coach, there is nothing more rewarding than watching the people you believe in overcome adversity and prove to themselves what they’re capable of.

“NOTHING CHANGES. FOLLOW THE PLAN.”

None of this happens alone. Thank you to our coaches and teammates for the countless hours and sacrifices that made these camps possible.

Thank you to my wife, our @cmmafitness staff, and all our incredible students for showing up, tuning in, and supporting these men.

Special thank you to @guilherme_guimma and @angel_verduzco96 for the great corner work and preparation. Could not have done it without you.

Proud of these men. Proud of our team. Proud of what we’re building at CMMA. Much more to come!

WE DID THIS TOGETHER! taken in UFC APEX by @blackdice888

I miss the feeling of walking to the cage having ice in my veins, 🔥 in my heart, and a chip on my shoulder. Hopefully soon kus your boy's itching.

When coach @chadsavagegeorge told me "the belt only covers two inches of the ass, the rest you have to cover. " I felt that . Needless to say I definitely leveled up. #hespect
