Background
Caio Borralho was born January 16th in São Luís, Maranhão. His grandfather was a math teacher, and inspired by him, Borralho started tutoring at 15 years old in maths and chemistry.[4]
After graduation, Borralho went to Universidade Federal do Maranhão (UFMA) to study Industrial Chemistry. During his university years, he was offered internship opportunity at Brazilian brewery giant Ambev, he would reject this offer, and would ultimately dropped off from his university as he became passionate about pursuing career in MMA some time in 2014.[5]
Although it should be noted that Borralho, first started doing Mixed Martial Arts around the age of eighteen years old, but his very first MMA fight occurred in 2014, when he was around twenty-one years old as an amateur, at Dojô James Adler, located in the metropolitan city of São Luís, Maranhão.[6]
Before MMA, Borralho dabbled in other types of martial arts. His very first journey into the world of martial arts came when he was six years with grappling arts by the name of Judo, with Sensei Emílio Moreira serving as his very first mentor.[6] In judo he has won multiple championship at state (Maranhão) and national levels.[7]
After losing to an opponent in a Judo tournament via armlock, Borralho's Sensei Emílio Moreira, coerced him to train in Jiu-jitsu in order to enrich his Judo skills. Not long after Borralho also began training in Muay Thai, but he opted out of these martial arts (Judo and Muay Thai) in 2014 to pursue a pro career in MMA, as he moved out from his native town of São Luís to the city of São Paulo.[4][7] Eventually, he started his own MMA team ''Fighting Nerds'' with his coach Pablo Sucupira.
