Less than 24 hours after the quick submission over Luan Miau, Cleiton Predador has already put his next moves on the table within BRAVE. The lightweight from Minas Gerais, who won the lightweight belt on the show, wants to compete for more belts in the coming months.

Cleiton seems to have closed a chapter in the rivalry with Luan Miau by saying that he intends to move up to Superlight, and “if they give in”, try his luck at welterweight. At 33 years old, the Predator is the oldest champion in BRAVE history, nothing that discourages him from pursuing increasingly ambitious goals.
“Man, age is just a number. I'm very happy to have finally conquered my place in history and made my name in the world of MMA. I'm world champion! And for BRAVE CF! But I have more plans. I want to move up to super lightweight and get the belt there. If they give up, I'll still go to welterweight. I don’t care what they say, because outside of Belo Horizonte, no one believed in me against “Miau””, declared the new champion, who also said that his “hunger for gold” would extend to the lighter categories if it were possible.
“I have this fever, this hunger for a title, for gold. If I could fight without a leg, I would go to featherweight too (laughs). I love proving people wrong and I can’t wait to keep doing it,” said the Predator.
The rivalry between Cleiton and Luan was the highlight of BRAVE Combat Federation's return to Brazil, which took place with maximum success last Friday (30), at the practically packed Arena Minas Tênis Clube. It was the fourth time that the event founded in Bahrain came to Brazil in the last three years.
