As reported by GRACIEMAG.com, black belt Marcio Feitosa is helping American Sean Sherk in training for his fight against BJ Penn to take place on May 24 and worth the UFC lightweight belt. After his initial activities with his latest student, Marcinho commented on the experience: “In daily training Sean shared all his ideas about techniques and physical training with me. We mainly did drills and Jiu-Jitsu work. I was impressed, Sean is in good shape for the fight, he will surely be an explosive presence.”
Marcinho also recalled how the partnership with the former lightweight champion began. “We met five years ago, when I did a Jiu-Jitsu seminar at Minnesota Martial Arts Academy. He did not participate, but we had the chance to talk and he was really cool. Seeing his UFC fights I knew Sean would be a great fighter, but seeing the guy train had me totally impressed.
