I had to check out his bio to get a better idea of his life's background. As I suspected, he's not merely a fighter, but an educated fighter from a fairly well-to-do family in Brazil. His father isn't wrong, no father wants their child to get a brain injury, but he is also not right to insist his son do X or Y. But as long as he retires intact and healthy, he can always become a doctor or lawyer later. I once appeared before a judge who had previously been in the NFL, saved his NFL money for the several years of his NFL career, went to undergrad, then went to law school, practiced law for some years, and became a judge.
UFC Vegas 30’s Renato Moicano was on his way to becoming a lawyer before giving in to his MMA dreams.

“I had a really good life,” Moicano explained. “My parents had good jobs. I didn’t have a really tough childhood like a lot of other fighters in Brazil. I always loved to compete and loved to fight. I started in judo when I was eight. Since then, I fell in love with combat sports“When I saw the opportunity to be an MMA fighter and live and train every day as I do, I just grabbed the opportunity. In the beginning, my parents didn’t allow me to do it. My father used to say, ‘This is not worth it. You’re going to have a brain injury. I want you to be a doctor or lawyer.’
“I actually did two years in law school in Brazil,” he continued. “I was going to college every day, studying and learning, but I also training to become an MMA fighter. I got to a point where I had to choose and I put everything aside just to pursue this dream to become an MMA fighter. This was the best thing that I did in my life. Otherwise, right now I would be living a really bad life. If you don’t do what you want, life is miserable.
