Funny enough her husband took up on training Brazilian jiu-jitsu after a recommendation from an ex-girlfriend. After success in competitive BJJ and submission wrestling, he started his career in MMA. At age 17 he moved to Spain where he taught the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, at the time he was a purple belt but three years later he became a black belt.
He has been fighting for over a decade. In June of 2010, he solidified his spot as a top heavyweight by submitting Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko, ending Fedor’s unprecedented decade long 28-fight win streak. He is currently ranked as the #2 heavyweight in the world.
Unfortunately there is not much info available on his wife, according to her twitter she is in Public Relations and is the founder and photographer behind onmyway.la –a visual collection about Los Angeles street style scene with a personal passion for fashion, design and creative behavior.
