The Vision of Fighters Empowered

Fri, 30 Sep 2022 23:35:40 GMT

One of our goals at Malibra is to empower fighters by creating awareness of their stories and by providing them an additional channel of income. Professional fighting is a notoriously unforgiving industry. This is why we created the Fighters Empowered program.

The road to success as a professional fighter is not an easy one, with many personal, financial, and physical sacrifices having to be made as well as short career spans due to the ever-so-human aging process. Because of all of the hardships they must endure to succeed, we believe this is what makes fighters the perfect candidates to positively influence others with their mindset, dedication, work ethic, and perseverance.

Even in the midst of a battle when their chips are down, the fighter with the most heart still has a chance to pull-through and earn the victory. Martial arts have a transformative power and have helped millions of people across the world achieve personal, everyday victories. On Malibra, our fighters help others by sharing their own knowledge and by helping them develop their own inner drive - one that pushes the limits.

Whether a fighter is retired, a newcomer, or a champion, they all have tales to tell. Their developed fortitude is hard-earned, and we want to give back to them. This is why a large portion of the profit generated at Malibra goes directly back to them and the production of their content.

While fighters inspire others by sharing their craft with the world, we want to give back by improving the lives and opportunities of fighters by supporting their careers.

Fighters persist and inspire us by pushing beyond physical and mental limits. Their work ethic shows us it can be done, and that is why one of our goals is to support them in their career and journey. When we empower them, they empower us.

Meet Portugal's finest, UFC Fighter Andre Fialho

Fri, 30 Sep 2022 23:31:00 GMT

Focused and resolute, Andre Fialho is turning his dreams into reality. As a boy growing up in Caicais, Portugal, his father inspired his passion for boxing and helped him develop into a world-class MMA fighter.

Learn Andre's impressive techniques through his Boxing Masterclass only on Malibra.

Andre is making a name for himself in the UFC's welterweight division with his incredible knock-out victories. Currently training under Henri Hooft, Greg Jones, Kami Barzini, and other elite coaches out of Kill Cliff Fight Club (formerly Sanford MMA) in Deerfield Beach, Florida, he aims for one goal everyday - to be a champion.

His daily training routine is nothing to scoff at either. With multiple training sessions a day, the intensity of just one of these sessions would make the average person sore for days. The internal drive and focus it takes to endure these trainings day in and day out clearly shows Andre's elite athlete mindset.

When he is not in full-fight mode, you might catch him grabbing an açaí with his main pal, Rocco. Rocco is a bull terrier with a ton of energy and the closest it comes to family for Andre while pursuing his dreams in the US. Although an ocean away, he remains very close to his family back in Portugal who are cheering him on as he makes them and Portugal proud.

Malibra is working hard to produce a new way to get in shape through MMA fitness taught by Andre.
