ADCC World Champion Diogo Reis has revealed that he is undergoing striking training sessions and may even make his professional MMA debut in the future. Reis has already proven himself to be one of the best grapplers on the planet by winning the under 66kg division at ADCC 2022, so with the practical striking that comes with it, he could also do very well in mixed martial arts. You'll be able to fit it in. In particular, getting some good matchmaking on the local MMA circuit for a while before moving on to more rigorous testing will give you a chance to develop your striking at a steady pace while adapting to a new sport.
If Diogo Reis truly intends to make his MMA debut, it's clear that it won't be for a while yet, as he has other challenges on the horizon that take precedence over his striking training. Wraith have been invited to return to defend their title at ADCC 2024, and the division will feature as many top talents as last time. If he wants to maintain his status as the reigning ADCC World Champion, it will take months of focus and hard work so that he can bring an even better version of himself to ADCC 2024 than the defending champion. It will be.
In a recent post on his official Instagram account, Diogo Reis hinted that he is preparing for his MMA debut with a trip to the Fighting Nerds for a striking training session. He explained the session in a video (translated from the original Portuguese).
“As I prepare for my MMA debut…I was invited to a training session with Fighting Nerds and had the opportunity to see high-level boxing training and meet several UFC athletes, among them, of course, Caio Boralho. will be fighting in the UFC this weekend. I did some moves to warm up the machine and then went to the fight. I tried to do something about it, but I just got hit… by my doctor. I was beaten by Dr. Alberto and trainer Rodrigao. I really liked the reception and the gym. And now the question that won't be silenced… Who would like to see Baby Shark in the future? I'd love to know so leave it in the comments. If you want to see the whole training and how my trip to Fighting Nerds went, visit my YouTube channel. It's all there. !”
