Wilson Gouveia
Gouveia was an active MMA fighter from 2001-2013 and retired with a not-too-shabby 15-8 record. During his time with the UFC, he was the recipient for Fight of the Night honors on three separate occasions on top of winning Submission of the Night and Knockout of the Night. To say the least, he was known as a fighter who came to put on a show for the fans.
During his time as a fighter, he moved to Florida from his Native country of Brazil to train at Coconut Creek’s famed American Top Team MMA gym – but what makes his story cool is he’s found a new passion. In retirement, he’s taken up a career as a police officer for the Hollywood, FL Police Dept. Gouveia doesn’t plan to stop there. As fighters typically do, he’s got his eye on the next challenge – becoming an FBI Agent. Based on his resume as a fighter and police officer, why not?
