Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) legend Marcus ‘Buchecha’ Almeida has actually discovered a unique method to honor his late pal and fellow black belt, Leandro Lo, who was killed in Sao Paulo, Brazil in August 2022. ‘Buchecha’ obtained a customized mouth piece with “brotherhood” composed on it as a homage to Lo. The ONE Championship heavyweight extended his pro-MMA record to 4-0 by beating previous interim title opposition Kirill Grishenko with a first-round submission in September 2022, and is now considering a title run in 2023. With the ONE heavyweight champion bout in between Arjan Bhullar and Anatoly Malykhin set for March 24, there is a genuine possibility ‘Buchecha’ will make a title shot this year, although he might require another win prior to getting the chance to fight the winner. A possible match for ‘Buchecha’ might be Iranian wrestler Amir Aliakbari, who has actually won his last 2 battles.
