The last weekend of November does not feature UFC or Bellator events, however, MMA does not stop in Brazil. This Saturday (30), the Jungle Fight holds its 99th edition in Rio de Janeiro. In the main fight of the event, the rivalry between Brazil and Argentina will be the highlight of the night. In a duel valid for the lightweight belt (up to 70kg), the undefeated Lucas Almeida will face Argentine Nicolas Cocuccio.
“I believe that the winner changes his life. Both fighters have a very good record. Your work, your life story has to be shown to the whole world. These are sensational stories and great examples of life”, said Wallid Ismail, president of Jungle Fight and responsible for taking former athletes from the event to the UFC, such as the candidate for the middleweight belt Paulo borrachinha.
In addition to the title fight, the fight program features more than 17 fights that promise to shake up the Vila Olímpica de Jacarepaguá from the 20 h.
