Sup everybody my name is Manuel Furtado. I'm 26 years old from Uruguay but have lived in the U.S since I was 4. I started my MMA journey at 16 and had my first MMA fight at 18. Life has had its ups and downs but MMA has always been an anchor for me no matter where life took me.
I want to make it Pro one day but have recently been focusing on just prioritizing my finances and studying for a better job. I feel like if I would've stayed training consistently those 10 years since I started I would be in a better position to go pro, but you can't change the past, only work towards the future.
Fun facts:
Am studying cyber security and programming. But I've been getting into a lot of game development stuff as well. Would be awesome if I could make a game that would make enough profit to where I could just train. That's another one of my goals.
