Augusto Sakai is a Brazilian mixed martial artist who currently competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight division. He was born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil on March 21, 1989.

Being just 30 years old & already possessing solid experience combined with proven track record makes Augusto Sakai one fighter that every single fan should keep an eye out due given fact that he could potentially become one new faces next generation stars representing sport worldwide long term basis especially considering fact future looks bright for athlete himself seeing how no signs slowing down anytime soon – if anything actually opposite true!
