during his last training, a meeting with the World-wide Champion of Vale Tudo Wanderlei Silva. The

meeting was promoted by the team of the Premiere Combat (SporTV), the cable channel that is promoting

the Event.

Popó showed very well informed on the fights of Vale Tudo and said to be a fan of the style of Wanderlei

Silva, mainly for the aggressiveness and plastic of the knock-outs that Wanderlei imposes for his

opponents. Wanderlei transmitted words of incentive and admiration for the trajectory of the Popó in the

sport, therefore after all, both place the name of Brazil in evidence in the International Circuit of their Sports. 

After the meeting, the Premiere Team Combat followed the Functional Training of Wanderlei in the Academy
