"For Francischinelli, it's more than a championship opportunity, it's a chance to cement himself as one of LFA's next breakout stars on a stage built for future UFC talent. And the first thing anyone notices about the Brazilian striker is his sheer physical presence; standing an incredible 6-foot-6 at 170 pounds, it's no surprise he's viewed as one of the promotion's most intriguing prospects."
""I'm just a skinny guy! I know I'm so tall, but I'm just a skinny guy," Francischinelli told Cageside Press. "Before, when (I first) started, I start 125. Like 15 years ago of course, but I started 125. I fought in Brazil, professional, 155. Imagine me 6'6 155! It's crazy right?" Francischinelli (5-0) is a rare blend of physical tools and mental sharpness."
""When I'm in the cage, it's two things for me. First one, it's my job, it's serious. I need to be serious right now. I'm not kidding, I'm not joking, I need to come in there and do my job," he said. "Second one, it's my moment. The moment (is) only mine, is nobody else(s). I don't have a problem, I don't have bills to pay, I don't have nothing. It's just me against me. That's what I'm thinking in there."
Francischinelli is a 6-foot-6, 170-pound Brazilian striker combining rare physical size with polished technique and composure. He began competing at much lower weights, originally near 125 pounds and later 155, and holds a 5-0 professional record. He trains at California Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness in Gardena and draws his base from kickboxing, which built his in-cage control. Outside the cage he remains calm, but inside he shifts to full focus, treating fights as his job and personal moment. His height, skill set, experience, and mental approach position him as an intriguing LFA prospect with championship aspirations.
