Compared to just regular MMA where the best fighter ever was a cokehead during his title reign

Very interesting segment on Brazilian TV about UFC newcomer, Priscila Cachoeira (8-0).

She aparently was a volleyball player for Fluminense from age 10 to 15 and at 15 her team was on the state finals and a scout for the Brazilian national team came to watch the finals and to see her. One of the heads of the team told her she would be on the bench for that game (after she had been a starter for the entire season), so she didnt even get to play, turns out her replacement for that game was this guy´s daughter. So she lost her chance to be scouted for the national team, her team lost the finals and she left the sport completely.

After that she left sport all together and got into a rough crowd, got into drugs, from marijuana to cocaine and eventually to crack cocaine. She was a junkie for a long time, couldnt stop it and would spend days in a spot where folks would go to use, at one point she was gone for 3 days and her mother came looking for her, took her back home and started her recovery.

She was still in recovery from withdraw and a friend of hers told her about a project in the comunity that had muay thai classes, she convinced her to go and check it out. At that point she was already 26 years old. She did a little sparring session there on the first day and had everybody impressed, 19 days later they had her competing in a ammy muay thai competition.

After about a year and a half she started competing in pro mma, that was june last year.

She just turned 29 this year.

That's beautiful. Thank you for posting.

[Thesnake101]

You literally described at least half of the Male fights in the last year or so.

Women's volleyball is one of the great human inventions. I support her recovery. Now let her bang...

As someone who grew up around a lot of addicts and am still very close friends with a lot of addicts, it is genuinely encouraging to see someone get through it and make something of themselves.

In four years, Ngannou went from being homeless to being a contender.

But he is big and from Africa, so this just means he's insane, A level, natural athleet, lol.

 

[AdamantiumPimmel]
