Background:
Born in the Streets of Rio de Janeiro, Dante Ferraz grew up in an environment where only the strongest survive. Orphaned at an early age, he learned to fight on the streets, facing criminals and mercenaries to protect himself. His natural talent for combat caught the attention of a former Vale Tudo fighter, who trained him in Jiu-Jitsu and grappling techniques.
Over time, Dante became an urban legend, a man who effortlessly took down professional fighters in underground brawls. Eventually, he was discovered by underground fight managers, who took him to the world circuit. Now, facing elite fighters like Baki Hanma, Jack Hanma, and Yujiro Hanma, Dante seeks to prove that uncontrollable savagery is the key to combat supremacy.
He doesn't fight just for money or glory-he fights because he was born to do it.
