The only thing you know about Capoeira is what Eddie taught you in Tekken. Admit it, you always chose to play with Eddie because if you mash the buttons hard enough, he would start spinning every unpredictable direction and frate trane through whatever noob picked up the ‘Player 2’ controller. Despite how many times Kenny Florian uses the word “Capoeira” in a UFC on FX broadcast, there is only one true Capoeira practitioner in MMA today, and his name is Marcus “Lelo” Aurelio. If you’ve never heard of him, it’s because he’s yet to get a taste of network TV exposure. Luckily for everyone, Bellator is going to change all that with their announcement via twitter that announced he’s the newest addition to their welterweight roster. Props to Bellator for surfing YouTube and agreeing that his highlight reel KO’s are worthy of our Friday night Spike TV repertoire.

As fun as that is to watch, he's obviously never faced a serious wrestler who will just wrestlefuck those moves right out of him. hate to piss in everyone's cheerios. sorry.

His Wins over collective opponent's record up to now has been 6-13. Not like he's been really fighting real contenders.

Prove me wrong Lelo, prove.me.wrong.

Never watched a highlight where 75 percent of strikes didn't land. Capoeira is a cool style, but he's going to get shut down.

Good, its about time. Craziest KO I've seen at an event was this guy at BFL10 with that flying switch kick.
