GABRIELE CERA

Dreams of glory drive Cera, since he lives among the ancient ruins outside of Rome and visits the Coliseum where the gladiators fought whenever he can. He’s been practicing karate since he was six in his hometown of Tivoli and has brought back 76 international medals. He trains in the mountains near his home and likes to keep in tune with nature there--running and shadow boxing under the old aqueduct arches. Off duty he has impeccable Italian style, and likes everything in his life orderly--but in the Karate Combat pit, he becomes the Toughest Animal.
