Alan Nascimento Coach
Alan Do Nascimento, also known as "Finfou," is the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach for Khamzat Chimaev, a role he has held since Chimaev's early UFC career. As of August 2025, Nascimento is actively involved in Chimaev's training camp for his upcoming title fight against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 319, which took place on August 16, 2025, in Chicago.
Nascimento has been instrumental in Chimaev's development, helping him prepare for high-stakes bouts and even overseeing a historic moment where Chimaev earned his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt inside the UFC cage following his victory at UFC 319.
Nascimento, a black belt from the Checkmat academy, is known for his high standards and has publicly stated that Chimaev's performances are exposing so-called "fake BJJ black belts" in the sport.

Alan Do Nascimento is Chimaev's primary grappling coach, having helped him train across locations including Russia, Abu Dhabi, and California in preparation for UFC 319.
He has been a consistent presence in Chimaev's camp, even as other coaches like Andreas Michael have been absent from recent training posts.
Nascimento confirmed that Chimaev was a blue belt when he began his UFC career but has since earned his black belt, a moment celebrated in the cage after Chimaev's title win.
He has expressed confidence in Chimaev's ability to handle top opponents, including Gilbert Burns, and once predicted the fight would be "one of the best fights of UFC history".
Nascimento has also addressed travel issues Chimaev faced in the United States, citing visa difficulties related to political tensions, which led Chimaev to relocate to the UAE and obtain a 10-year visa.
