A perfect MMA record is hard to come by. Finishing all your opponents in the first round is even more difficult. Winning all ten fights, all in the first round, all by submission… now that’s impressive!



 

That is exactly what Igor Almeida has done. 



 

Almeida was born in Boston, Massachusetts but raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was in Brazil, at the age of 14, that Almeida started his Jiu-Jitsu training under Sergio Souza and Brazilian Top Team co-founder Murilo Bustamante.  In 2001, he had his first MMA fight in a local promotion; he was hooked.

I'm not too impressed by the competition that he has faced.

inf0 - Well he has a fighter's name... that's a big start.. lol


I know right. His name suggests he is half BJJ master and half russian brawler!

 He trained here in Tul$a a few weeks ago.....I was not there but I heard he was solid. I would love to train with him next time he is here.



I wish him all the best!!!
