Fighting Nerd Borralho out to bully the bullies

- GARY HITCHCOCK

BULLIES of the world beware - Caio Borralho is leading the fight for the revenge of the nerds.

Former maths and chemistry tutor turned MMA star Borralho subscribes to the theory of brains over brawn and embraced that ethos when forming 'The Fighting Nerds' gym in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with head coach Pablo Sucupira, who was originally a copywriter for an ad agency.

Borralho again proved his fight IQ, alongside his toughness, in a unanimous decision victory over fellow middleweight Jared Cannonier in Las Vegas, with the Brazilian, and his whole corner, sporting distinct nerd glasses with white tape on the rims.
