American Top Team is one of the largest and most active Mixed Martial Arts (“MMA”) teams in the world.  The team has over 1,000 members, more than fifty of whom compete professionally in MMA, Western Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Submission Grappling, Wrestling, and Muay Thai events all over the world.  American Top Team has rapidly developed a reputation of success and has consistently produced many MMA and BJJ champions on an individual and team basis.  Named the best place to train in MMA in the state of Florida and recognized as a champion making team by UFC President Dana White, American Top Team is the premier source for quality MMA athletes in Florida.  By placing the majority of the card with American Top Team fighters, this card truly pays homage to Floridians filled with hometown pride.

Roan “Jucao”  Carneiro was one of the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s rising stars when he entered the promotion in April 2007 against Rich Clementi at UFC Fight Night 9.   That bout resulted in a hard fought unanimous decision victory that showcased his hardnosed style.  A loss to Jon Fitch two months later was then redeemed by a win over B.J. Penn protégé, Tony DeSousa and then back-to back losses to Kevin Burns and Ryo Chonan.  The last loss sent Carneiro out of the UFC and his first return to the cage is now within Shine Fight Promotions.  Having battled some of the best fighters in the world, Carneiro is ready to get back on the road to redemption.  

Jorge “Macaco”  Patino defines the word MMA veteran battling professionally since 1995.  From the inception of MMA, Patino has been in the mix battling within the vale tudo (anything goes) circuit in Brazil.  From the outset, Patino began his career with nine straight wins with six of the nine captured in the first round.  Making his debut outside of Brazil in the UFC, Patino fought Pat Miletich for the Lightweight Championship at UFC 18.  What ensued was a whirlwind tour that took Patino to Japan and all over the continental U.S. where he maintained his reputation as an elite fighter.
