Only two people from sports had ever won the award for standout marketing before him – soccer phenom Zico and racing legend Ayrton Senna.

“It’s a tough time for me to be here talking to you. Not too many people know how I learned to cope with the obstacles life threw my way at an early age. The toughest moment so far was when I was run over, but I got back in the saddle and joined the world of martial arts. I beat great opponents, won a lot of fights, won world titles. Then came the hip injury in 2010, and as I was already used to overcoming hurdles, I returned to my winning ways at UFC Brazil in August. It is with great pride that I accept this award, alongside great figures who have also won the award. I thank God, my family, friends, all of you and my fans, who once again helped me win at a critical moment in my life. Thank you all,” said Minotauro in gratitude.

The Brazilian is already in Canada with his trainers Luiz Dórea and Amaury Bitetti, as well as his brother Rogério Minotouro, who will take on Tito Ortiz. The twins have already had a training session in Toronto. In the evening’s main event, light heavyweight champion Jon Jones puts his belt on the line against Lyoto Machida. Check out the card:

“Para mim é uma hora difícil, falar aqui diante de vocês. Poucos conhecem que desde pequeno aprendi a superar desafios que a vida me propunha. O momento mais complicado foi quando fui atropelado, mas dei a volta por cima e entrei no mundo das lutas. Venci grandes adversários, tive muitas vitórias, muitos títulos mundiais. Daí veio uma lesão no meu quadril em 2010, e como já estava acostumado com essa tarefa de superar desafios, venci novamente no UFC Brasil em agosto. É com muito orgulho que recebo este prêmio, ao lado de grandes personalidades que já ganharam o mesmo. Agradeço a Deus, à minha família, amigos, a todos vocês e aos meus fãs, que mais uma vez me ajudaram a vencer um momento de grande importância na minha vida. Obrigado a todos”, agradeceu Minotauro.
