Allan Nascimento’s Philosophy: Exploring the Tao
Allan Nascimento, a representative of Chute Boxe Diego Lima, was initially set to compete against Rafael Estevam, an undefeated fighter in the UFC. Estevam boasts a record of 3-0 in the UFC and 14-0 overall. However, due to undisclosed reasons, Estevam withdrew from the match, leading to the replacement of opponent with tough wrestler Cody Durden.
Durden enters the ring in Las Vegas this weekend on a three-fight losing streak. This marks the second time this year that Nascimento’s planned match against a ranked opponent fell through. His earlier scheduled fight against Asu Almabayev on March 1 was canceled to allow Almabayev to headline against Manel Kape.
Understanding Nascimento’s Approach to Change
In the face of these challenges, Nascimento remarked, “We need to be used to these things because this is the sport. Changes are frequent, and we must be prepared for them.”
Strategizing for the Upcoming Fight
Nascimento’s analysis of his opponents highlights a unique tactical approach. “Cody is more aggressive with striking and possesses good wrestling skills. However, I consider myself a more complete fighter,” Nascimento said, looking ahead to their match.
He sees this fight as a crucial opportunity. “Depending on my performance, I might break into the rankings. It’s disappointing to miss chances against ranked opponents. Rafael entered the rankings without a fight; I hope to prove myself in the cage.”
