Allan Nascimento

Allan Nascimento is one of the most talented and skilled MMA fighters in the UFC. Born October 5, 1985 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Allan began his martial arts career at the age of eight with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Although he has since broadened his training to include Muay Thai kickboxing and boxing, it’s clear that BJJ remains close to his heart.

At minimal expense or access to proper facilities and equipment, Allan began competing from an early age in local tournaments throughout Brazil. With a strong drive for success and unwavering determination, Alla was able to make a name for himself as he won multiple awards during his amateur career including gold medals at both the Brazilian National Championship and International Masters Championship of BJJ. This would be the start of something big for him as he went on to earn several more titles over time including Grand Master World Champion (2006), Pan American Champion (2007), European Open Champion (2008) amongst many others.

In 2009 Allan turned professional after signing with Gladiator Fight Club; making four successful appearances there before being signed by UFC in 2011—where he made an impressive debut against Thiago Tavares at UFC Rio: Silva vs Okami in 2011 earning him Submission of The Night honors that evening. He would then go on to fight tough opponents such as Jeremy Stephens (2012) where he lost via unanimous decision, but bounced back later that year with a submission victory over Tyson Griffin at Ultimate Fighter Finale 16 by way of rear-naked chokehold after three rounds of intense fighting which earned him Submission Of The Night bonus during post-fight ceremonies once again! After taking some time off due illness/injury related issues between 2012–2014 seasons — when healthy enough —he returned ready than ever winning two consecutive fights against Ross Pearson & Francisco Trinaldo respectively both via split decision before losing last match up John Makdessi within first round due technical knockout finish late 2015…but still stayed active on undercard scene nonetheless!

Currently training out Las Vegas Top Tier Martial Arts Academy alongside fellow pros like Wanderlei Silva & Forrest Griffin among others while also working closely longtime specialists Rafael Cordeiro Mike Dolce helping him reach peak physical form possible heading into next bout—which will surely be another test strength & endurance no doubt! No matter outcome though one thing sure…Allan Nascimento here stay long time prove why deserves place among elite fighters world today!!
