Barcelos, who hails from Rio De Janeiro, is a former amateur wrestler and grappler, and current professional mixed martial artist (MMA). Barcelos has been an active fighter for nine years in the bantamweight division.

“We are excited to begin this new project and begin partnering worldwide with professional athletes who may be able to improve their wellness by taking our products,” said HempMeds® CEO Raul Elizalde. “We feel that his testimony will help the public learn about their potential benefits.”
