Soccer Team: Fluminense. I used to be very fond of this sport, but not anymore.
Statement: "Impossible is nothing" If I have made this far in BJJ, anyone can do it too. Jiu-jitsu is EASY
 Question:  Answer:
How was the beginning in Jiu-jitsu? I started at 12 years old, actually even before, but only after12 I started training seriously.
When did you decide to follow a sport career? After winning the WORLD title, I understood that it was not possible to escape my own fate.
Tell us something about your training for competitions... I try to train with my teamates from Brasa URCA Jiu-jitsu, which provides me with all technical support, but the aerobic training (as often I have to lose weight). I do seriously throughout the year and intensify it when there is an upcoming championship
Tell us about championships In my opinion, a championship is the fighter's opportunity to test and develop skills and achieve his maximum. In my career I have had many victories and defeats, but even in the worst phases I never stopped fighting, as we learn a lot from our mistakes
Have you any superstition or mania on fighting days? None since I am certain that it will not change my performance at all. I just try to think positively on the days ahead of fights
Do you take any special care about you nourishment ? Since I fight on galo weight, I need to keep control of my weight. Of course, I sometimes relax, but to lose weight I follow the nutrition advice of Mariana Belém.
How was your best fight ? Several competitions have been important to me, yet, the one that I see as self-enduring was when I was still in purple belt and after a week in bed I fought five times to win the State championship
How did you get your nickname? The nickname Magrinho started with Bezinho, but indeed I get so thin before championships that it became a natural association. Magrinho is not my real nickname, though people got used to it after my first world title, when the magazine NOCAUTE wrote an article saying: Felipe Costa takes over Skinny's throne.
What would you do if you were not a fighter? This has always been a doubt, so far I don't know what I would have done if I had not decided to live on the sport. Maybe I would try to be a dog trainer :)
Which is the difference between Felipe FIGHTER and Felipe on a daily basis? In fact it is a small difference, maybe the Felipe FIGHTER is more aggressive, or else, I believe that self-determination, optimism and trust mark my life in and outside the tatames.
