UFC fighter Chris “The Action Man” Curtis credited Claudio Ferreira and Fade Room Barbershop in Toronto for his fresh fight‑night haircut after his win over Marc‑André Barriault, even giving the shop a shoutout on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.
I had the honor of cutting Dricus Du Plessis’ hair before his fight in Toronto. As the first African UFC champion, he connected with my Portuguese heritage and shared stories from his time in Africa. I gifted him some of my products and told him I believed he’d win, even as the underdog. His calm, focused energy during the cut made me feel he was ready — and he proved it by becoming the new middleweight UFC champion. I’m grateful I got to play a small part in his fight‑week journey.
