Jailton “Malhadinho” Almeida is a dangerous submission specialist in the UFC’s heavyweight division. His journey from a welterweight fighter to a heavyweight fighter in the UFC remains impressive. However, Jailton Almeida always had his wife throughout the journey through all the hardships and successes.

Born on 28 June 1991, Almeida started his boxing training at the early age of 6 and Jiu-Jitsu training at the age of 11. However, he felt he would be well-equipped for soccer. The Brazilian fighter could not afford to be part of a football club in Brazil and thus followed his passion of becoming a mixed martial artist. Jailton Almeida has become a decorated fighter with exceptional grappling skills, and he owes this success to his amazing wife, Dandara Rodrigues. So, here is everything you need to know about Jailton Almeida’s wife.
