Bruno Ferreira didn't literally go from "heaven to hell" in one week back in June of 2014 But what he went through shortly after signing his first international contract came close Ferreira was 26 and held a spotless eight-finish MMA record when he signed with what was then Legacy FC who have their sights set in the UFC from the start Ferreira didn't even put that much thought into that back then His first major dream had already been fulfilled: he would get to fight in the U.S "It'd be my first time outside of Brazil," Ferreira told MMAjunkie "I think I've never even seen an airplane." Ferreira didn't exactly lead a luxurious life After moving from his native Sao Jose do Rio Pardo with a 5-0 record to train in the much bigger city of Campinas he'd just recently been able to rent a one-bedroom apartment with his wife Things seemed to be quite on track for Ferreira (8-0) except for the back pain that some seriously persistent kidney stones had been giving him for nearly six months Nothing seemed to work to ease his suffering after taking three consecutive trips to the hospital in one weekend "It was the same week I had signed with Legacy," Ferreira said "(The signing) was even in the newspaper – I even showed it to the doctor so I told him I was going to fight soon and I needed to get rid of the stones what Ferreira got something much scarier: a cancer diagnosis which had already spread from one of his testicles and made its way up to other spots in the fighter's belly "I went from heaven to hell in the same week," Ferreira said "Because when you find out about the disease the first thing you think is that you're going to die that I was going to die and that I wouldn't be able to do what I love anymore in October I had surgery and removed the testicle." Ferreira's chemo treatment was aggressive: The cycles with medication going into his body from five to six hours straight Ferreira could barely gather the strength to eat after his body started getting accustomed to the aggressive treatment he went back to the mat for some jiu-jitsu for a man who'd just had his dream so violently snatched away Ferreira would have to give the mat a break again left him recovering from a big gash on his belly for four months altered blood work meant another two particularly rough rounds of chemo "I almost died doing the chemo," Ferreira said Ferreira felt drained and tired – even in between chemo treatments Ferreira had to confront the harsh reality that perhaps his days of being an MMA fighter were behind him I'll never be as strong as I was before.'" Ferreira decided to resort to other methods as well heard in church about an alternative type of treatment that focuses on food and dietary supplements While the efficiency of these kinds of treatment is a far from unanimous Ferreira started feeling like his old self again "And that fire that was deep down in me started lighting up again I started winning jiu-jitsu fights in tournaments again Ferreira says he's now training three to four times a day and believes he could start a camp and be ready to take a bantamweight fight as soon as four months from now A mission that his manager since before he got sick God gave me a chance to continue and I'm going to pursue it." ended the same way that all of his other ones did: with a first-round finish on the ground actually stemmed from an attack from the mount made Hampel sure that his signee was destined for great things even when Ferreira tried to come to terms with the fact that he might never return "I always knew he was a great fighter in the cage and life," Hampel said I like to believe he was going to fight this way through this And if there's anyone that could fight their way through this He's accustomed to difficult challenges in life "And I think he embraced it just like he does fighting in the cage signed Ferreira along with a close friend of his most commonly known in Brazil as "Carcacinha." Ramos who trained and slept in the same gym as Ferreira The plan was the same for both then-undefeated fighters: getting them to Legacy FC first who's now scheduled to fight at UFC 217 after a successful octagon debut watching from the sidelines didn't turn into frustration Ferreira celebrated his friend's success as his own "(Watching MMA) was a way of making me feel closer to it like 'I'm never going to do this.' I loved it and I still do I sometimes thought 'I'm going to have to give up,' in my heart I've always had a lot of faith in God that it would work out While Hampel says he has no doubts that Ferreira would be in the UFC had he continued on his path the bantamweight himself doesn't think about that "I'll fight for anyone that wants me," Ferreira said with a laugh I never thought specifically about the UFC I thought about fighting internationally – especially in the U.S The dark days were made lighter by the overwhelming support Ferreira found in his wife dealing with difficulties that most people don't face in a lifetime "I got sick at a time when people are usually so healthy 'Are you going to give up again?' So I told myself no "I think you learn how to see life differently Ferreira is now ready and eager to re-open a book that he once feared would be closed for good with the inevitable perspective that comes with dealing with uniquely difficult questions Ferreira is happy to take it one chapter at a time "At first I'm thinking about this fight," Ferreira said For more on upcoming MMA schedule, check out the MMA Rumors section of the site Brazil) rode his way to his fourth PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Unleash The Beast event win of the 2019 season at the PFIwestern.com Invitational Just one week after winning the two-day Anaheim Invitational the 2017 Rookie of the Year went back-to-back as he rode Rusted Metal (Torres Brothers Bucking Bulls LLC) in Round 3 for 85.5 points The qualified ride put him in a position to select Biker Bob (Dakota Rodeo/Chad Berger/Clay Struve/H&C Bucking Bulls) for his championship round bull The Brazilian cowboy went on to record an impressive 92 points in the championship round propelling him to the win and securing his league-leading 11th 90-point ride He took home $37,445.16 and earned 660 world points to extend his lead in the world standings ahead of No The lead is the largest held by a world No 1 since Week 6 of competition when Lockwood led No Texas) took home second place for the weekend and would have won the event had Leme not made a qualified ride on his final bull the Texas cowboy scored 87 points aboard Let’s Gamble (Hodges/Shuler/Flying S) and was then matched with Sky Harbor (Chad Berger/Clay Struve/Wilks Ranch/Paradigm Bull Co) in the final round Even though he came down early in the championship round the young gun walked away with $17,996.83 and 380 world points 11 in the world standings and moving him to No Third place in Springfield went to Brazilian Joao Ricardo Vieira (Itatinga who scored 85.5 points aboard Cody Bill (Bill Henson/Gene Owen) in Round 3 Vieira went on to the championship round against Oz (TNT Bucking Bulls / Hart Cattle Co.)

World Champion Adriano Moraes is one of many in the PBR community shocked and saddened over the passing of 24-year-old Giliard Antonio Many believed that Antonio had the talent to one day compete in the United States at the PBR’s premier level – Three-time World Champion Adriano Moraes has met many Brazilian bull riders that have told him that one day they would go to the United States and become a World Champion Even after Antonio broke his pelvis last year Moraes knew Antonio would not give up on his childhood dream Over a month in a wheelchair and a year away from competition was not going to stop Antonio from making a return to the bull riding arena He was that determined and that talented of a bull rider and he told me that he would be a World Champion,” Moraes said on Monday from Brazil Antonio passed away on Sunday evening after having his chest stepped on by Cineasta during the Monster Energy PBR Brazil event in Maringá The 24-year-old had just ridden Cineasta for 75.5 points which was his seventh consecutive ride at the PBR Brazil level since returning to competition only two weeks ago in Sao Jose do Rio Pardo He spent three months in a wheelchair and it was a long and painful way back He had big dreams and a big ability that was cut short PBR CEO Sean Gleason offered his heartfelt condolences to Antonio’s family and all of those affected by his passing on Monday “Giliard was a cowboy at heart who loved the sport of bull riding and throughout our sport,” Gleason said in a statement “We send our heartfelt condolences to Giliard’s fellow bull riders his family as we mourn a bright light gone out too soon.” Antonio was 78-for-100 (78 percent) in 24 PBR Brazil events since first making his debut three years ago on May 7 at the São José do Rio Pardo PBR Brazil event native would go on to finish his PBR Brazil rookie season 11th in the Brazilian standings following a 29-for-40 (72.5 percent) showing Antonio really turned a corner in 2016 and evolved into a PBR Brazil champion contender The then 22-year-old went into the PBR Brazil Finals as the No 1 bull rider in the standings and appeared poised to win the PBR Brazil championship Antonio bucked off his first two bulls – Patrao FSM & Danger – and finished the PBR Brazil Finals 1-for-4 Dener Barbosa used a perfect 5-for-5 performance to win the PBR Brazil Finals and the 2016 championship Antonio concluded 2016 third in the PBR Brazil standings after going 38-for-49 (72.5 percent) with two victories “I remember that it was very disputed that year between him and it came down to being decided in the last round,” Barbosa said with the help of Miriaham Garcia translating Barbosa met Antonio before their PBR careers began and he said even then it appeared as if Antonio destined for success in the United States “I knew him at the beginning of my career when I was not riding in PBR,” Barbosa said surely he would be a part of the Top 35 because he had a lot of talent.” Não tenho nem palavras pra escrever sobre sua notícia , que Deus te receba de braço aberto e conforte toda a sua família nesse momento tão difícil, você vai fazer muita falta aqui ,vai com Deus ...😔😔😔😔😔 A post shared by Dener Barbosa (@denerbarbosag) on May 13 agreed that Antonio had the potential to ride in the United States Montanha remembers how memorable that 2016 PBR Brazil title race was between the three young guns of PBR Brazil focused and rode easy on his bulls,” Montanha said I met him when he came to ride in PBR Brazil.” Montanha and Barbosa said there was something else that stood out about Antonio “Giliard was a hard working and very humble guy who fought for his dreams,” Montanha said Near him there was no sadness and the remembrance that I will have of him is his victories I watched in the arenas and his radiant smile We lost a great competitor and friend here on earth Barbosa said he will forever remember Antonio for his fun-loving personality “He was a very cheerful person,” Barbosa added “I don’t think I remember ever seeing him sad 2017 PBR Brazil champion and 2017 PBR Rookie of the Year Jose Vitor Leme also echoed his condolences there would have been a great future ahead for him both in Brazil and in the Top 35 in the U.S.” 2008 PBR World Champion and all-time qualified rides leader Guilherme Marchi remembered watching Antonio compete last year when he was home in Brazil for the summer break and Marchi came away impressed by the young bull rider good person and very respectful,” Marchi said He was talented enough to be here with us and he rides really good PBR Brazil leader Bruno Scaranello said Monday that the news had him sick “I'm lying here with no spirit to do anything but God will give us strength,” Scaranello said Scaranello met Antonio at the PBR Brazil Finals in Barretos in 2016 The two became friends and Antonio would often greet Scaranello by saying “He was a wonderful person,” Scaranello said religious person and dedicated – a very hard-working fighter My greatest memory when he saw me was he would always smile and say ‘eeeee Scaranello’ every time.” Fellow bull rider Fernando Henrique Novais who is currently second in the PBR Brazil standings said he would remember Antonio as a “humble warrior.” and without doubt he would be one of the best,” Novais said Antonio was beginning the process of getting a visa approved so that he could fulfill his dream of competing in the United States later this year Moraes is heartbroken that Antonio’s dreams will now go unfulfilled and that he will not be there to raise his daughter and be with his family he is a World champion that never had a chance to get the buckle Follow Justin Felisko on Twitter @jfelisko
