"Ali has two nicknames for which he is well known among his friends. One is "The Beast From The Middle East" (for obvious reasons) and the other one, which was 'coined' by his coach Michael Langhi is "Cadeira Elétrica" (Electric Chair). Electric Chair started being referenced during Monfaradi's early days in São Paulo because he was very clumsy. "limbs everywhere" and often kicked or elbowed his training partners. His clumsiness was as if he was being electrocuted."
