My name is Ricieli Santos, editor and director of the newspaper "Fighting News" (in Brazil) specialized in sports and martial arts. At the end of the 80's I also organized fighting events with Rickson Gracie (Copa Cantão de Jiu-Jitsu, Copa Lighting Bolt de Jiu-Jitsu, among many others).

I have always worked with the greatest jiu-jitsu fighters and I can say that Marcello C. Monteiro has always been a great athlete, with a high technical level. He has become a coach who has helped lots of the current champions.

Nowadays he is an excellent teacher and I am proud to have him as a friend.
