Alexandre “Cacareco” didn’t fight for almost two years, and was chosen to one of the main fights of Jungle Fight São Paulo, who took place in Pacaebú Gymnasium, last Saturday. Coming from four victories by submission in less than 50 seconds, Cacareco started in gret fashion as a Chute Boxe athlete, breaking his personal record. In only 16 seconds, the fighter forced Vagner Curió to tap in a tight heel hook. “I work hard now. I was afraid to be hit by kicks and punches before, now this don’t happened anymore. If the fight is standing up, that’s fine, if it goes to the ground, that’s my specialty“, celebrate Cacareco.

And Alexandre celebrates in Usain Bolt style, the fastest man in the world. “The guy is the fastest runner in the world, and I’m who submit faster in the world. That’s my celebration (laugh)“, jokes, making Rudimar Fedrigo, the Chute Boxe leader, proud,. “He was anxious, for that time he stood still... The victory was really good for him to get back the passion and adrenaline. He’s one of the biggest fighters of Brazil, and his career still has a lot of gas to burn. I’ll use all my knowledge to put him in Japanor USA. He deserves a big event“, tells Rudimar.

Excited and with good trains, Cacareco hopes to get back on category tops. “Chute Boxe makes me train, there’s no friend and no one to call me. This time I trained hard, because master Rudimar made me go toCuritiba and train three times a day... I needed this victory“, said, remembering the moment when he was invited to join the team inCuritiba, thanks to a history published on TATAME’s website. “When master Rudimar called me I was already convinced to stop fighting, with many problems... He talked to me and said something that’s true: we have to persist, even with problems coming. I believed him and now I’m here“.

Coming back to the ring in great fashion, the fighter wants to shine on big MMA events. “That’s the hope, that thing go naturally, with a fair money to maintain the athlete“, affirmed, telling how he built his fight style, after training on some of the biggest MMA teams of the world. “I was always a submitter, and on MMA my submits work better. I came from Luta Livre, then went to Brazilian Top Team, then my ground has the best of all. I took the best of Zé Mário, of Pé de Pano (Marcio Cruz), the best of Toquinho (Palhares)... I make a salad and gets good“, explains, talking about the trains in Curitiba. “If you have any deficiency, you have to search look for the best. The fight world is still small, people don’t have this conscience. The fighter career is really fast, and I’m happy on Chute Boxe “.
