UFC lightweight Bernardo Magalhaes might not
immediately strike you as a man hoping to grow the sport of MMA in
Australia.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, it would be completely understandable if
“Trekko” instead preferred to bask in the popularity explosion the sport
is currently enjoying in his homeland.
However, Magalhaes has spent the past five years of his life Down Under
and is now an Australian citizen. Now he hopes to help foster the
growth of MMA in his adopted land, as well.
