Buchecha reveals if he’s really retired from BJJ

 

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu legend Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida admits his motivation to compete in BJJ has begun to fade as he has found a new challenge in his life … MMA

“I never thought that I would retire [from BJJ], but I don’t carry the same motivation, I have fought everybody and do not have nothing left [to prove], all of my focus is on MMA,” he told FanSided’s Amy Kaplan.

“I didn’t compete since 2019, I missed the adrenaline you get with competing, and it did not make sense to wait for BJJ tournaments to return for me to feel that same feeling,” Almeida said. “I wanted something new, to know how it would feel to fight in MMA, a similar type of pressure.”
