Nazareno Malegarie (born May 16, 1986) is an Argentine mixed martial artist. As a blue belt he won the 2004 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Championships.[2] He currently fights for Bellator Fighting Championships in their featherweight division.
Early life
Malegarie grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina where he began learning Judo when he was only 4-years-old and later Tae kwon do at the age of 7.
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 Brazilian National Championships, and the 2004 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Championships as a Blue Belt.[3]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.[4][5]
Mixed Martial Arts Career
Malergarie currently trains at the Ataque Duplo Gym in Brazil. After his MMA debut in 2007, Nazareno fought in many MMA organizations in Brazil and Puerto Rico, where he finished 17 of his 19 victories by knockout or submission as a professional.
At Bellator 37, Malegarie fought Daniel Straus in the quarter finals of the Bellator Season Four Featherweight Tournament. Despite a noble effort, fighting a war for three rounds, Straus received the unanimous decision, eliminating Malegarie from the tournament and giving him his first career loss.
After his loss to Straus, Malergarie went back to the gym to work on his wrestling techniques for a possible rematch. His improved wrestling and ground skills showed during his fight with Jacob DeVree at Bellator 46, which he won by third round submission.
Malegarie competed in the opening round of the Bellator season seven featherweight tournament. He faced Rad Martinez in the quarter finals at Bellator 76 and lost via unanimous decision.
