Lucas Martins Fornazieri (born July 25, 1991, São Paulo) was a Professional Brazilian Mixed Martial Artist fighting in Brazil, where he was considered a top 15 Heavyweight Fighter. Nicknamed "Coisa Ruim", Fornazieri is a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Rocian Gracie and a accomplished Amateur Muay Thai Fighter. He became famous for his speed and agility due to his size. He's one of the fastest fighters in his weight class. Lucas has been sidelined due to a Shoulder injury that he suferred in his last fight in June 2009, and in December 29, 2012 has not been medically cleared to return to the ring.

Early Life[edit]

Fornazieri was born in São Paulo, Brazil. His family also lives in São Paulo. He started training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at the age of 15 and then began Muay Thai and MMA at the age of 16. His weight lifting training began in 2008, at Peck Deck, a respected gym in São Paulo, where he met Gil, a conditioning training expert, and where he also met Marcos, o Gorilla, an accomplished weight lifter who helped Lucas in his daily training. Lucas stated that these are the only two people in the world that he would never fight.

Mixed Martial Arts Career[edit]

Fornazieri's first MMA fight was in late 2007 when he defeated Felipe dos Santos by armbar in the first round. He then went in a 11 fight winning streak, with notable wins over Juninho Chocolate, Muay Thai expert Eduardo Souza, and a KO in just 13 seconds when he defeated the american fighter John Smith in International Fighting Brazil 2. His only fight that went to a Decision was in December 13, 2008 when Fornazieri won a very close Split Decision against Pedro Negão. He then fought Negão in a rematch, where he won in decisive fashion, chocking out his opponent after securring a very tight Arm Triangle Choke in the second round.

Shoulder Injury[edit]

In his last fight, after Fornazieri TKO'ed fellow Brazilian Murillo Dragão in June 27th 2009 , his opponnent assaulted him after the match, resulting in Lucas falling from the ring and landing on his shoulder, which caused a serious injury. In the first shoulder surgery, somes bone fragments were removed, but even after 6 months of recovery, he wasn't able to get fully healed. Fornazieri had a second surgery May 18th 2010, a third in late 2011, and fourth in January 2012, and will not be cleared to fight again since having a fifth surgery is too dangerous.

Personal Life[edit]

Lucas loves music of many sorts, Metal and Rock 'n Roll mainly. He plays the drums whenever he can. Fornazieri is also a Video-Game fanatic. Lucas also has a passion for massages, working a part time job in his gym in São Paulo as the main masseur.
