André "Dida" Schervinski Amado (born 9 October 1983) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist and Muay Thai kickboxer who has competed in the Japanese promotions Dream and K-1 Hero's.
[1][2] He is known for his exciting fighting style, often utilizing flying knees and spinning kicks, as well as his colorful entrances often sporting a mask and dancing his way to the ring.
Until late 2007 Amado trained at the Chute Boxe Academy in Curitiba, Brazil and was able to gain a purple belt BJJ under coach Cristiano Marcello during his time there.
During the brawl that broke out between coaches Silva and Chael Sonnen, while the rest of the cast were trying to separate the brawling coaches, Amado joined in the crowd and took the chance to punch Sonnen on the back of the head several times and rip his shirt off.
UFC president Dana White kicked him off the show after the incident, telling the media that Amado "ought to be arrested" for what he did.
