Getting To Know The Fighters Of Ultimate Beatdown ~ UB9

Alexsandro “Leke” Machado

“Leke” is a real honest to goodness Brazilian from Rio de Janeiro home of course to BJJ. So it should come as no surprise to hear that he is a BJJ professor from Checkmat with 17 years experience.

He has recently decided to start competing in MMA from his new base in Singapore. he has been training MMA for just a few short months.

He now works and trains at Impact MMA Singapore, teaching BJJ and grappling.

He regards his strengths and said that he likes anything either on the floor or on the top. I like to fight he told me! In other words watch out, he’s happy in the cage and you can stand and bang or go to the ground either way he doesn’t care.

I asked him “What do you know about your opponent”? and he replied:
“I like to fight with people who are strong. I think this guy is good, I shall try my best”.

He describes his biggest fight as his recent appearance at Thailand’s DARE against Kristoffer Persson a catchweight bout which he lost. But that did not stop him taking on another catchweight bout.

When asked if he had a message for his opponent he simply replied “Good luck”.

He also added:

I hope this will be a good fight. Thank you to those people who are supporting me and I promise this will be a good show.
