Jose "Pele" Landi-Jons (born September 9 , 1973 in Parana, Brazil) is a Cuban-Brazilian vale tudo fighter known for his eccentric attitude and exciting style of fighting. Pele's style is primarily muay Thai, but he also practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu in which he holds a black belt. He is the former IVC Middleweight Champion.

He was formerly affiliated with the world famous Chute Boxe Academy, eventually leaving as the result of a lack of progress and commitment expected of a Chute Box student. Pele now fights out of Revolution Fight Team in British Columbia, Canada.

=MMA Career=

One of his biggest MMA wins came at 4:45 of the first round in Shidokan Jitsu-Warriors War 1 when he brutally knocked out future UFC champion Matt Hughes with a knee.

Another big win for Pele was when he beat UFC champion Pat Miletich by TKO in 2000.

He lost to future UFC champion Chuck "Iceman" Liddell at IVC 6, losing by decision (time ran out), Liddell won the decision due to strikes, Jose "Pele" Landi-Jons would not give up despite being badly beaten.

But Pele's most famous fights are his two wins against jiu-jitsu fighter Jorge "Macaco" Patino in the vale tudo rings of Brazil. The two had a very hostile feud leading up to and during the fights.
