Ronny Markes had his work cut out for him last January at UFC São Paulo. His opponent was the undefeated middleweight Andrew Craig. And although his confidence was a bit shaken, as he explained to GRACIEMAG, he managed to win via unanimous decision.
“I’d been training to fight better standing and on the ground. But unfortunately on the 30th of December I suffered a lower-back injury. Between the 30th and the fight I didn’t train at all. I think that shook my confidence some. And I was almost a year sidelined before that. But now I need to look ahead to the future. I won, so on to the next one,” said Ronnys.
The Kimura/Nova União fighter spent the week in the Brazilian city of Fortaleza, where he taught a seminar at Nova União Ceará.
The fighter from the State of Rio Grande do Norte taught a position exclusively for GRACIEMAG.com readers: a guillotine that can be used effectively both in MMA and in No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu.
