Background

Andrade was born in Fortaleza, where growing up was dangerous, and there weren’t many opportunities for young people in the region to leave and further themselves, but when Andrade found Muay Thai at the age of 13, he knew this could be his ticket to a better life. The Brazilian quickly developed a true passion for the sport, and soon, it transformed him both physically and mentally.[2] Andrade trains out of Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket and has trained with the who’s who of the UFC champion the past few years, like Petr Yan and Alexander Volkanovski.[3]
