Description

Nazareno Malegarie (born May 16, 1986) is an Argentine mixed martial artist, and a two-time BJJ World Champion currently competing in the Featherweight division of the Professional Fighters League. A professional MMA competitor since 2007, he has also competed for the UFC, Bellator and Pancrase.

Malegarie grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina where he began learning Judo when he was only four-years-old and later Tae kwon do at the age of seven.

He was Judo Champion in Argentina in 1999 and 2000.

In 2001, after his family moved to Brazil, he started training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, winning the 2003 and 2004 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Championships in the blue belt division, South American and state tournaments. In BJJ he holds a notable victory over the four time BJJ World Champion and UFC fighter Gilbert "Durinho" Burns. After earning his blackbelt he made the leap into mixed martial arts, when he began training alongside UFC veteran Thiago Tavares, who inspired him to consider a career in MMA.
