Andre Pederneiras has faced many challenges inside the cage as a fighter and cageside as a coach. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pederneiras now faces a different sort of challenge. A lengthy Instagram post from the legendary Nova Uniao coach posted Monday announced he’s self-isolating after a positive test for the novel coronavirus currently wreaking havoc on the globe. He initially revealed the news in an interview with Combate . The post from Pederneiras reads (translation via Google Translate): “Good morning everyone! “I took the Covid-19 test and it was positive. I am well, fulfilling my isolation at home, and my biggest concern at this moment is to continue our fundraising campaign, because the hunger of the less fortunate cannot fail to be quenched due to a MOMENTARY low medical in the middle of this war that we are fighting, to feed the less fortunate.
