Ariane Lipski is set to take on Karine Silva at the UFC Apex in a women’s flyweight matchup tomorrow. Lipski is a former KSW champion who is known as “The Queen of Violence” for her ruthless fighting style. She is looking to gain momentum as a win over Silva will mark another win  for her and will help propel her towards an eventual shot at the UFC gold.

Lipski, originally from Parana, Brazil, began her journey with Muay Thai, winning the Brazilian Muay Thai championship before transitioning to MMA. Beyond her professional career, Lipski has a personal life marked by a successful relationship with her husband, Renato da Silva Jr. And ahead of her clash against Silva, let’s explore all we know about her husband and his history with mixed martial arts!

Ariane Lipski’s husband is a former MMA fighter

A coach and former MMA fighter, Renato da Silva Jr, known as ‘Rasta’, was born on June 26, 1983, in Curitiba, Brazil. With a professional MMA record of five wins and three losses, ‘Rasta’ retired in 2018 and transitioned to coaching.

The couple first met in 2013 when Lipski sought training from ‘Rasta’ at his gym. Both initially were just focused on training and growing as coaches and students. However, the struggles of being a professional fighter and long hours in the gym led to them developing a closer relationship.

A brief look at ‘The Queen of Violence’s MMA journey  

‘The Queen of Violence’ initially made a name for herself as the Brazilian Muay Thai champion before transitioning to mixed martial arts. Her journey began under the Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki (KSW) promotion, where she gained recognition as a fierce competitor. Despite her early success, Lipski faced a setback when her contract with KSW concluded, leaving her with the UFC as her next goal.

The turning point arrived when Ariane Lipski signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), marking a new chapter in her career. However, her much-anticipated debut was thwarted as her scheduled opponent withdrew due to injury. Undeterred, Lipski finally entered the UFC Octagon in 2019, against Joanne Calderwood, though she faced defeat via unanimous decision.

At UFC 296, Ariane Lipski submitted Casey O’Neill in the 2nd round to seal yet another win for her profile.
