The Fighter Nobody Wants To Face

The goal of any good fighter is to be the best he can be, defeat all his opponents in a matter of seconds, get several victories and be feared by other fighters, right?

Well, Alexandre "Cacareco" Ferreira has reached that desirable point in his career: he has not lost a fight in four years, he is willing to fight anybody at 185 or 205 pounds. His last seven fights lasted a total of nine minutes all ending in first round submissions.

He is an Olympic level wrestler with world class Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has competed in ADCC against the world's best including Marcelo Garcia, Dean Lister, Braulio Estima, Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza. He is not just a lay and pray fighter, his game is to end the fight as soon as possible. For the last two years, Cacareco has been working his striking with a group of killers at Chute Boxe Academy in Brazil. Training at the team that has produced the most dangerous fighters in the world, Cacareco has added a lot of new weapons to his arsenal.

And what should be an advantage to any fighter in the world, has become a disadvantage to Cacreco because, due to his reputation and skills, very few fighters are willing to accept a fight with him. This is a fighter who would be in the mix for a title shot at middleweight and light heavyweight for sure—if given the chance.

"I was offered a fight with Machida in the UFC and Machida turned it down knowing that he would be submitted in the first round," said Cacareco. "Fighters at 205 pounds or 185 pounds like Forrest Griffin, Jon Jones, Minotouro, Gegard Musasi, King Mo, Chris Leben, Michael Bisping and many others would be easy targets for me. I would submit them in the first round. Right now, I don't see anybody in the UFC, Strikeforce, Dream or in any other show who can keep up with my game. Even their champions would have a hard time with me," added the confident Chute-Boxe fighter.

He is always ready, and just patiently waits for a call. For anybody at 185 or 205 pounds, he is willing to face them.
