Being Born in Maranhão but raised in Belém, both Brazilian cities, Zezão Trator is coming from seven wins in a row and his last loss was to no one less than Ronaldo Jacaré. From then on, Zezão’s career did not stop growing. Trator’s next challenger will be the really tough Erik Silva, on Jungle Fight, an event that happens on July 31 in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Trator knows he will have a hard time, but guaranteed he will be more prepared than ever and he does not intent to end this sequence of triumphs so soon.

“Thanks God my trainings are great, Ulysses Pereira has been taking care ok my fitness and my boxing, I’m training it all: Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, because this fight will be really hard. On my last fight, on Ironman, I was coming from a rib injury and I was taking too many medicines and that’s why I was getting slower on the trainings and I lacked conditioning. Now I believe I can fly, my conditioning is great and I’m training hard to do a good fight and to please the audience”, said Zezão, who wants to impose his game plan.

“I want to bring him to my game, to put him down and work on my ground and pound. You can hope for a good conditioning, embattled”, commented the Brazilian, who has the same dream as 10 other fighters: “My dream is the same as all fighters, to get to UFC, where there are the best of the world. I know I have to think about this bout with Erick first, but I’m working really hard to make my dream come true later this year”, concluded the athlete from Ulysses Pereira’s gym.
