Murilo ‘Ninja’ Rua: Where Is He Now?
The world came to know him as “Ninja” during a successful mixed martial arts career that spanned more than decade and took him from one side of the globe to the other while he established a reputation as a true big-game hunter. Murilo Rua walked away from MMA at the age of 32, content with what he had accomplished and focused on preserving his well-being. Now 44, he still keeps his finger on the sport’s pulse as a coach and businessman.
“I remain in Curitiba, [Brazil], where I was born and raised,” Rua told Sherdog.com. “I have my own academy with various franchises around Brazil, as well as in Switzerland. Who knows? We may open locations and even promote a fight card in the United States.”
