Júnior Cigano reinforces our fight against cancer

The strength of a champion can teach you a lot about the fight against cancer!

Junior Dos Santos Almeida, born in Caçador, in the interior of Santa Catarina, moved to Salvador at the age of 18 to try for a better life. He started fighting at the age of 21, after meeting master Yuri Carlton, who introduced him to Jiu-Jitsu in 2005. In 2008, he joined the UFC and won against big names on his way. In 2011, Cigano won the champion belt against Cain Velasquez. The athlete sees difficult moments as just another obstacle in the struggle that is life!
