Alexandre Ferreira

Do you have any heroes? My hero is God.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? UFC is the Oscar of the MMA, every fighter wants to be there and one day be the champion and I always dreamed of this opportunity. Now this is real.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Unfortunately I could not go to college; my college was my survival as a human.

What was your job before you started fighting? My work has always been fighting. I do not know anything other than fighting.
