Meet the Trainers: Diego Pereira
18 October 2022
As Serena Williams once said, a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they recover when they fall. Australian Featherweight MMA contender and TFC trainer Diego Pereira has been through his fair share of ups and downs, and that’s exactly what makes El Pantera Negra so formidable inside the cage and knowledgeable as a trainer.
Originally from Guararapes in São Paulo, Brazil; Diego has resided in Brisbane, Australia since he was 16. He practised Kung Fu, Capoeira, and Judo from a young age. At 19, he found his passion for martial arts when he began training in MMA, and today, he’s a BJJ brown belt and a professional MMA fighter.
