Brazzo MMA Thread (Frequently Based)

Japan and Poland have one so why not my little country.

 

 

 

Discuss.

@joking_joe  Either Max Holloway, Cub Swanson, or Dennis Siver is what I would want to see for Barao's 145 debut.

Amilcar Alves stripped of the Shooto Brasil belt and suspended for 2 years after failing drug test at Shooto Brasil 56. Tested positive for 19-Norandrosteron.

They must have been injecting whilst peeing in their drug test cups to get caught by CABMMA.

According to sherdog: "As a result of Alves’ failed drug test, CABMMA has changed the result of the bout to a victory for Viana, who also reclaims his lost belt with the reversal."

Sort of new to the whole MMA writing thing, but I started a new series on MMA Sucka where I list off around 10 of the best fighters to look out for in a specific country or state. Figured it was suitable to start with Brazil. If this does decent traffic on the site, next will be Japan. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Also, even some recommendations. I had a list of around 30, but I didn't want to do that much. If I missed any obvious selections, let me know and I can edit them in as well.

Good stuff. I like prospect reports in every sport.

@MikeLovesTacos  Solid article.  It was very well written and there was a lot of solid prospects on that list.

One of BJJ's greatest competitors, Rodolfo Vieira, plans on making his MMA debut soon. He's training at ATT and should make his debut for Real FC.

This fine piece of ass and ADCC champ (Mackenzie Dern) is gonne make her MMA debut with Legacy soon.



Primeiro Round Combat has a second event scheduled and it's stacked so far.

Fabio Maldonado vs. Felipe Dantas
Edilberto Crocota vs. Ciro Bad Boy 
Khetag Pliev vs. Anderson Fala Mansa 

Pliev is a very decorated wrestler training at Team Nog.

Primeiro Round Combat 2 has been postponed, I'm still waiting on confirmation on the new date, but it will probably happen in May. Not sure if the awesome card will hold till then, though.

May 6th if I remember correctly.

Guys, did anybody know that John Teixeira fought outside of Bellator late last year? The event's name is Eco Fight Championship 17, EFC 17, in Amapa. His opponent was changed last minute and John won by split decision. As far as I know by John's social media, he was given permission by Bellator. Is there any way this fight is added to his record?

@Kinsala nice one, thanks! I'll add it to the database asap, a lot of those smaller shows from the north region of Brazil (you know, where the Amazon forest is located) go unnoticed cause every major news media is from the south/southeast area (Paraná, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo) and they don't give two ****s for what happens over there in the north.

according to Canal Combate Fedor will face Fábio Maldonado (at Heavyweight) in the main event of the next Fight Nights in Russia, scheduled for June 17.

Holy ****.   That should be a fun fight to see.

Ricardo "Demente" Abreu officially retired from MMA at 32. He was suspended for two years by USADA for Nandrolone last year. He cites depression as his main reason to retire, as he wants to treat it and can't do it while fighting and being tested.

Ex UFC Tiago Trator loses by KO in rd. 1 against Oberdan Pezao in Amapá.
