About

A decade of original content for UFC Brasil, built from inside the sport, by a director who trained in it.

As Original Content Sr. Manager for UFC Brasil, I created and directed the series that shaped the brand's voice for the Brazilian audience over the past ten years. Every original, from Acesso Exclusivo to the UFC Podcast to Long Story Short, was conceived, produced, and directed in-house, end to end.

My background in martial arts, combined with more than ten years working inside the UFC ecosystem, let me approach every piece not just as a producer and director but as a fighter and a fan. The result is a body of work that respects what the athletes actually do and tells their stories in the language the sport deserves.
