This video features Diego training under Saulo Ribeiro and Apollo Sebastian. It also shows footage of Diego's training and sparing sessions with fellow Bad Boy Fighters Fabricio "Morango" Camoes and Xande Ribeiro. Both Morango and Xande were preparing for their own fights at the time most of the footage was shot.

Xande: okay, to make my opponent underestimate me, you take me down, Diego.
Diego: yeah, and that way I’ll look like I could take you down so easily and make Clay wicked scared that his huggy bear style won’t work.

Does Saulo train Brock Lesnar as well or am I thinking of another guy?

I love the kid

I dunno much, but something looks quite wrong with his stand-up. Almost as if he can’t get any kind of fluid pivot going on. Also, as I keep re-watching, I notice its his balance as well. As in: He can’t shit weight for the pivots because of it. I’m just guessing though.
