Being in the right place at the right time saved Titan FC champion Raush Manfio’s career

Raush Manfio’s road to the Titan FC lightweight championship was far from easy.

A 26-year-old talent from Porto Alegre, Brazil, Manfio is 5-1 under the Titan FC banner, including a trio of knockouts. But watching him shine inside the cage gets even more impressive after you find out what he had to go through to get there.

Manfio was one of the lightweights selected to be on the fourth edition of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil in 2015. It was the first time that a TUF Brazil season would be taped in Las Vegas instead of Sao Paulo, and he was excited to make the trip to Nevada and compete.
