UFC 109 winner Paulo Thiago plans to keep his day job in Brazil’s special police

LAS VEGAS – UFC welterweight Paulo Thiago (13-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) considers fighting a vacation from his day job as a special forces police officer in Brasilia, Brazil.

But as stressful as that job might seem, and as quick as his rise up the UFC ranks has been, he’s not going to give up one for the other.

“I’m going to keep going,” Thiago told MMAjunkie.com on Saturday after defeating Mike Swick at UFC 109. “I love to do both. My squad gives me all the support I need.”
