When two creative forces meet with a shared sense of purpose, the result transcends fashion-it becomes a dialogue. The new collaboration between Albino & Preto (A&P) and Goodfight embodies exactly that: a seamless fusion of martial discipline and modern design philosophy. Rooted in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and informed by street-ready sophistication, this partnership celebrates the intersection of function, culture, and community. Launching October 15 through both brands' webstores, the collection captures what happens when mutual respect and creative kinship turn into tangible craftsmanship.

Kicking off this UFC Rio edition of TTP is our interview with Tuff'N'Uff featherweight, Eduardo Penha. Penha discusses the expectations that come along with having a father that is a coral belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu. While some expect him to have had an easy path, he explains how that couldn't be further from the truth. Now with a record that stands for itself in the world of MMA, he looks to take the leap to that next level. His eye is on a late replacement fight or a Contender Series shot.

Albino & Preto has carved out a reputation for blurring the lines between martial arts gear and lifestyle design, and its latest project might be the most striking example yet. The brand has teamed up with the estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat to release a collection that merges the spirit of Brazilian jiu-jitsu with the raw, unfiltered creativity of one of modern art's most iconic figures.

"I always had the desire for me to fight in MMA, but earlier, when I thought about that, I thought I was too young. And I was just in the middle of my Jiu-Jitsu career. So I just thought it was not the best moment yet for me to start MMA."
