Amaury Bitetti Wiki
Bitetti trained under the late Carlson Gracie starting at age five at the Carlson Gracie Academy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Amaury had his debut in 1995 for the Desafio Internacional Vale-Tudo tournament. Entering the competition representing the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he was pitted at the first round against Karate stylist Francisco Nonato, but he defeated him by taking the fight to the mat and raining punches on him.
Bitetti next defeated kickboxer James Adler the same way, and he advanced to the finals, where he faced Capoeira fighter Mestre Hulk. The grappler waited after some spinning kicks and tried to shoot, but he was suddenly caught by a right hook from the capoerista and fell to the ground, where he received fourteen unanswered punches until referee João Alberto Barreto stopped the match.
In 1996, Bitetti debuted in UFC at its event UFC 9, replacing an injured Marco Ruas in his fight against Don Frye. The match would become infamous for the amount of punishment Amaury received, as Frye stopped his early takedowns and started landing punches, knees and elbows on the Brazilian, both standing and on the ground. After a hard series of elbows to the spine and head, the referee stopped the match to declare Frye winner.
Amaury returned to UFC in UFC 26, where he faced Ken Shamrock trainee Alex Andrade. This time Bitetti started aggressively, but Andrade answered and followed with a kick to the face, which gained him a yellow card as he was wearing wrestling shoes and thus he couldn't legally kick. The Brazilian continued landing several combinations through the match, but he ended winning by disqualification instead, as at the second round he was kicked in the head again, which got Andrade out of the match.
Bitetti was also in Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira corner when Nogueira submitted Tim Sylvia to win the UFC Heawyweight Champonship at UFC 81. He also holds a win over UFC veteran Dennis Hallman.
He founded his own mixed martial arts organization called Bitetti Combat in 2002. The company hosted its 14th event on March 9, 2013.
