Márcio Ribeirio Da Cruz (born April 24, 1978) is a Brazilian mixed martial arts fighter and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner trained by Marco Ruas. His nickname (Pé de Pano) literally means "cloth [or, towel] foot" in the Portuguese language, possibly alluding to the difficulty of catching him in a leg or ankle lock due to his flexibility. He has fought in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, defeating former champion Frank Mir by TKO at UFC 57. He also holds a win over Keigo Kunihara at UFC 55. He lost a split decision to Jeff Monson at UFC 59 and lost to Andrei Arlovski at UFC 66, in December of 2006, by first round knockout. On June 16, 2007 he defeated Rafael Feijao when Feijao used an illegal kick.
