\nmembers Jean Silva<\/a>
\nand Bruna
\nBrasil<\/a> in their
\nUFC<\/a> fights, Flavio \u00c1lvaro arrived in S\u00e3o Paulo on Monday and
\nspoke to Sherdog.com about the conflict between Silva and Mauricio
\nRuffy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nthe main figures responsible for grappling training on the team,
\n\u00c1lvaro assures that he wasn’t upset by Ruffy’s statement saying
\nthat training with Volkanovski made him realize he knew nothing
\nabout grappling.<\/p>\n
\nThe Fighting Nerds<\/a> for a long time,\u201d Alvaro said. \u201cHe always
\nfocused on striking with us, and you can see his excellence in that
\narea. This change of scenery to Australia certainly motivated him
\nto train grappling, and I think that’s very positive. In fact, he
\ndidn’t mean to belittle the Fighting Nerds or the grappling
\ncoaches.”<\/p>\n
\ntraining among Fighting Nerds and other teams.<\/p>\n
\nthe biggest Brazilian teams like Chute Boxe, BTT, 011. All those
\nteams were like great families. What most people don\u2019t understand
\nis that Fighting Nerds is not a great family. Fighting Nerd is a
\ncluster of families,\u201d Alvaro said. \u201c[Caio] Borralho has his team.
\nRuffy [has]his, actually he trains grappling with master Pardal.
\nPrates [has] his. Actually, Jean and Ruffy haven\u2019t trained together
\nfor a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nwith Ruffy was over, they will all remain under the Fighting Nerds
\numbrella.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSurely that was the first that leaked to the press and ended up
\ngetting bigger than it really is. One thing I can tell you, all the
\nproblems were solved under the leadership of Pablo Sucupira.\u2026 And I
\nbelieve this time will be no different.\u201d<\/p>\nSilva\u2019s Title Prospects<\/h2>\n
\nUFC London<\/a> main event pitting Movsar
\nEvloev<\/a> against Lerone
\nMurphy<\/a>, Alvaro still has hope that his fighter will end 2026
\nwith featherweight gold.<\/p>\n
\nhe said. \u201cThe other contender just makes boring fights. Look at the
\nperformance of Jean in all his fights. Volkanovski is already
\nconsecrated among the GOATS of the division, but we are in the
\n\u201cLord\u00b4s\u201d era. Jean is the man to beat Volkanovski and I hope UFC
\ngives us that opportunity next. But If UFC asks us to face
\n[Yair
\nRodriguez<\/a>], Jean will be ready.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
