Despite the age difference – Shlemenko is eleven years younger and has only two losses in 22 MMA appearances – Pele is very confident.’I know he is young and knows how to exchange punches, but this is no reason for me to feel intimidated. I like to throw blows while we are standing and if I feel his Jiu-Jitsu is not good I’ll try to take him down and finish the fight on the ground’ says Pele.Training hard at the Pele Team facilities in Curitiba, the Brazilian idol confesses his excitement with the chance that was given to him by Jungle Fight’s promoter Wallid Ismail. ‘I feel very proud when I’m fighting at Jungle.
