Zuluzinho

Zuluzinho, real name Wagner da Conceição Martins, is a Brazilian mixed martial artist and former Vale Tudo fighter. He is known for his large size and his association with the Gracie family, having trained with Ryan Gracie. He gained notoriety primarily through his appearances in the PRIDE Fighting Championships in the mid-2000s, often facing significantly more experienced and highly regarded opponents. His fights were often viewed as spectacle fights due to his size and relative lack of formal training compared to his opponents. While he has continued to fight sporadically in the years following PRIDE's demise, he remains most well-known for his early career in Japan. His fighting style is generally described as grappling-based, relying on his size and strength.
