Andre “Dida” Amade has a tattoo on his arm that reads “Divine Protection,” and the Dream veteran and K-1 fighter must have felt that someone from above was looking over him after he recently survived a gunshot to the head.
Dida, who has a 6-5-1 record in MMA and has faced notables including Eddie Alvarez, Gesias “JZ” Calvancante and KJ Noons, was one of two men shot in Toronto on Oct. 20, just in front of a gym, Toronto MMA . The bullet grazed his head and required 10 stitches to close, according to Brazilian site Portal do Vale Tudo.
