Like so many of his fellow cast members on “The Ultimate Fighter:
Brazil,” Marcos Vinicius
looked at the show as the opportunity of a lifetime.
While “Vina” came up short in the season’s tournament, he made the most
of his official octagon debut, knocking out Wagner Campos in
come-from-behind fashion and at this past Saturday’s UFC 147 event and scoring $65,000 for the evening’s “Knockout
of the Night” award.
It’s a moment Vinicius says he’ll never forget. After all, with victory
in hand, Vinicius can now – and forever – leave his old life behind.
