Jose Landi Jons
Jose Landi-Jons, nicknamed Pele, was born on the 15th of September in the year 1973 in the city of Curitiba, Parana, Brazil. He was appropriately nick named Pele for his fighting style and performances. He specializes in the Muay Thai and the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) fighting styles and has been a constant performer so far. His win-loss record of 23-12 does not do justice to his immense talent and to his skills. Pele is trained by a very able trainer, Sergio Cunha, who also acts as his manager.
Jose Landi-Jons was a member of the Chute Boxe academy and is considered as one of the deadliest and an extremely accurate striker. The wiry and cat-like fighter prefers fighting standing up despite being extremely solid on the ground. He is considered a headhunter and his kicks, razor-sharp punches and knees are a lethal weapon against his opponents. The fighter also is a showman to the core and uses strategies like taunting the opponent to break down their strategies.
Although his record in the Pride championship is dismal (0-2) so far but his record in the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) of 19-8 makes up for it.
