Fábio Andrade is a highly regarded Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coach at the Nova Uniao camp, being a prime figure in the revamping of their line-up within the sport in recent years. Mentioned by Protocolo BJJ (one of Facebook's leading authorities of the Jiu Jitsu) as having "the Midas touch", due to his consistency in bringing new talent through his social project academy in Bangu (neighborhood in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro), Andrade has produced fighters such as Kaue Damasceno, Isaque Bahiense, Iris Batista and the inevitable Márcio André among many others.
