The UFC heavyweight champion grew up in humble circumstances in Cacador, a small town in southern Brazil, unaware of the riches that lay beyond the city's limits.
Now, more than a decade later, another poor Brazilian child has left his destitute surroundings for the bright lights of Las Vegas. Nine-year-old Breno Luis Ferreira de Carvalho arrived at McCarran International Airport on Wednesday with his mother, Simone, and his older brother, Pedro Gabriel, and checked into his own room at the MGM.

They are guests of dos Santos, the star of the show Saturday who will defend his title against Frank Mir at UFC 146 at the MGM Grand Garden.

Dos Santos befriended Ferreira at his gym in Salvador, Brazil, and granted his wish to watch the fight with Mir at cageside. The experience has been overwhelming for Ferreira.

"It's just so exciting being here," Ferreira said Wednesday upon his arrival. "Even to get to sit on an airplane was like a dream. I could see all things out of the window, big buildings and we were really high above them, flying like a dream. But I'm here to help Cigano [dos Santos' nickname] defend his title."

Dos Santos sees a lot of himself in Ferreira. As a boy, dos Santos was not particularly athletic and never gave a hint of what he'd become. When kids in the neighborhood would choose sides for a game of soccer or basketball, they'd pick dos Santos first because he was bigger than most.

"After they saw me play once, though," he said, chuckling at the memory," that changed. Then I was always [picked] last. … I was never any good at games, at [sports]."

Gotta love this guy. JDS is the poster guy that anyone can respect and cheer for. He is my favorite HW right now.
