Man I didnt know that every freaking 5:th degree blackbelt out there has trained with BJ Penn at some point lol, its not an easy one, I found like 5 fighters already that I went aha! but then oh no..
Lol ok maybe I'm bad at posting these trivia questions.
So the mystery guy is André Pederneiras, the head trainer at Nova Uniao in Brazil.
-He fought mostly in Japan and once in the USA. With a record of 1-1-2 he faced against Rumina Sato, Caol Uno, Genki Sudo in Japan and lost to Pat Miletich in the USA.
-Being the trainer of Novo Uniao he is the head trainer of UFC Featherweight champion Jose Aldo alongside Renan Barao who fought at the week end.
-He trained with BJ Penn when BJ was training at Nova Uniao and was actually awarded his black belt by Pederneiras in 2000.
-He lost to Pat Miletich the UFC Welterweight champion at UFC 21 in July 1999.
