After a nice UFC debut, when scored his first ever career KO against Anthony Hamilton, brown belt Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Marcel Fortuna returns to the Octagon, now as a light heavyweight, on Friday night.
As Fortuna explained to Portal do Vale Tudo, he believes training at the American Kickboxing Academy with champion Daniel Cormier makes him more confident.
"There's some great training sessions at AKA. I trained a lot with Cormier, yes. It gives me an enormous confidence boost, even more so because my next opponent will be a wrestler.
