The accompanying video below chronicles the journey and captures the moment Angélica had to fight through in order to find her way back to the Olympia stage in the midst of a pandemic and her thirst to reclaim her title as she shares with us her struggle, her passion and her support of a Black Belt Mixed Martial Artist husband who stood by her side while her dream and her career hung in the balance of uncertainty.

This Brazilian born and now Texas resident is a fighter through and through. Angélica articulates what a champion must do in order to be the best in the face of pain and injury. A decorated athlete in the prime of her career with the trappings of success, sponsorship and publicity suddenly had the challenge of a lifetime in recovery while facing the worlds best Bikini Athletes on the biggest stage with the brightest lights and a Pay Per-View Audience watching around the world.


The doctor was aware of her highly trained ambitions but cautiously encouraged her to pace herself for full recovery following surgery and rehab yet this warrior was back training a mere two weeks later and fought to not just recover but be great!
