In time, Pellegrino noticed a change in the climate in his school. He was not the only one who had become bully-proof.
More than a decade later, Pellegrino continues to uplift children with learning disabilities in his hometown and beyond.
People close to my family told me I would never make it in fighting. Winner of four of his past five UFC fights, Pellegrino is coming off a loss to highly-touted lightweight George Sotiropolous, a gutsy performance that featured Pellegrino tearing an anterior cruciate ligament in the first round yet gamely going the distance on one good leg. That was eight months ago.
Naturally, there are questions about the soundness of that repaired knee and whether it will compromise Pellegrino against arguably the most gigantic lightweight in the world I once interviewed Gleison Tibau immediately after his victory over Jeremy Stephens in and he claimed to weigh pounds, and looked every bit of it. Like Pellegrino, Tibau is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. He excels at taking opponents down and smothering them on top like a boa constrictor.
Pellegrino conceded that, deep down in his heart, he did not want to fight Tibau. Silva served up the suffocation machine that is Tibau. Pellegrino has been complimentary of his muscle-bound opponent, but his initial doubts have eroded. Kenny Florian, his close friend and regular training partner, agrees.
But a growing trail of videotape evidence revealed a wackier KenFlo. The Boston College graduate and son of a thoracic surgeon has appeared in several YouTube videos with his trusted sidekick, and low-brow humor is unabashedly unleashed. We both act like idiots. It is him being himself. He was not the only one who had become bully-proof.

Forrest Griffin would be right up there with them.
