Moesio Brandao feels blessed. At the age of 41, the Brazilian is in top shape, living out his passion to the full in sunny Fortaleza, in the north of the country. Having fallen in love with MMA in the early 2010s, he now enjoys his daily life as a fighter, and wouldn’t leave it for the world. “When I was young, I did taekwondo, kick-boxing, boxing… As I was big and strong, people started talking about me in Fortaleza, and one day I was offered an MMA fight. I accepted, and then it all happened.” A decade later, Moesio Brandao is still here, more competent than ever. An unrivaled finisher, capable of subduing and inflicting heavy K-Os, he hasn’t let time eat his ambitions away. “I’m in great shape, both physically and mentally. I want to prove that I can succeed in a big organization like HEXAGONE MMA. For myself, and for my family.”
“I run on the beach and swim in the middle of sharks!”
Determined, Moesio Brandao redoubles his efforts to achieve his goals. “Every day, I cycle 40 kilometers, run on the beach and swim with sharks! Of course, that’s on top of my MMA training.” Not to mention his additional job, three nights a week, in the security business… Never a dull moment, but always with a smile on his face. “I’m very grateful to have this life. Every morning, when I open my eyes, I’m full of energy, and I’m happy to be doing all this.” On March 15, in Poitiers, Moesio Brandao will have the opportunity to give concrete expression to the work he has been doing behind the scenes. “I’m very confident because I’m an all-round fighter. Even though I’m more of a striking specialist, I’ve worked hard on my groundwork, and I now have a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I’m sure of myself!”
