'''José "Pelé" Landi-Jons''' (born September 9, 1973 in [[Paraná (state)|Paraná]]) is a [[Brazil]]ian [[vale tudo]] fighter known for his eccentric attitude and exciting style of fighting. Pele's style is primarily [[Muay Thai]], but he also practices [[Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu]] in which he holds a [[Black belt (martial arts)|black belt]]. He was born in Cuba and with the age of seven came along with his father to Brazil. He is the former [[International Vale Tudo Championship|IVC]] Middleweight Champion. He was formerly affiliated with the world famous [[Chute Boxe Academy]], eventually leaving as the result of feeling betrayed by the head of Chute Boxe, Master Rudimar. It is thought that Master Rudimar went back on financial agreements made with Pele. As a result of this Pele left Chute Boxe and never returned. Pele now fights out of [[Revolution Fight Team]] in [[British Columbia, Canada]].
==Mixed martial arts career==
One of his biggest MMA wins came at 4:45 of the first round in Shidokan Jitsu-Warriors War 1 when he brutally knocked out future [[UFC]] champion [[Matt Hughes (fighter)|Matt Hughes]] with a knee. Another big win for Pele was when he beat [[UFC]] champion [[Pat Miletich]] by TKO in 2000. He lost to future [[UFC]] champion [[Chuck Liddell|Chuck "Iceman" Liddell]] at IVC 6, losing by decision (time ran out). But Pele's most famous fights are his two wins against jiu-jitsu fighter [[Jorge Patino|Jorge "Macaco" Patino]] in the vale tudo rings of Brazil. The two had a very hostile feud leading up to and during the fights.
