About the project
A FOX · Globoplay fiction series on the precursors of Vale-Tudo: a violent, clandestine no-rules championship run by an ex-fighter who defends old-school combat.
The series follows a violent and clandestine "Vale-Tudo" championship, organized by an ex-fighter who defends old-school combat: no rules, no gloves, no mercy. Set in the underground of Rio, it traces the bloodline of Brazilian MMA back to where it actually started.
As specialist in martial arts and direction, I led the fight area, bringing technical knowledge to the series and coordinating with the action scenes team so every sequence landed the way the story needed it to.
