Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt under the Nogueira brothers, Junior "Cigano" has done a great job in the octagon, with two quick knockouts. Waiting to return to the event in August, against Justin McCully, the Brazilian is cheering for Rodrigo "Minotauro", who might face Randy Couture in the same month.

"Everybody knows who is Minotauro. They’ve putted some doubts about him after that last fight (against Frank Mir), but they will be able to believe again in the great fighter and man he is", says Cigano. After the first defeat by knockout in his career, Cigano believes that Minotauro will do a great fight against the former UFC champion. "This last fight wasn’t good, he really wasn’t well, but now he’ll show who he really is. He will win it, for sure", bets Cigano.
