Cairo Rocha faces Popó's pupil in BRFC 3

Cairo Rocha is preparing for a new challenge in his career: achieving his third victory in the third edition of the Brazilian Fighting Championship (BRFC), which takes place on August 11th, at the Events Center on Avenida Maurílio Biagi, in Ribeirão Preto. But to do so he will have to get past the undefeated Rafael Koncreto, with five victories and one of the highlights of Acelino Popó Freitas' team, former world boxing champion.

An athlete from Jardinópolis (SP), Cairo is one of the biggest names in MMA in the interior of Brazil and is now known worldwide, thanks to the fantastic spinning kick he applied to Chicão Neves, at BRFC 2, a move that experts called “Knockout of the Century” and which has already had more than 27 million views across all social media.

“I'm aware that with each fight I gain more notoriety, thank God, but that's all due to training. The secret to achieving victories is training, training and training. There is no other way and this is how I dedicate myself every day to overcome this new battle”, said Cairo, who recently arrived from the United States, where he spent two weeks in some of the most important training centers in the world, Punishment, from legendary Tito Ortiz, Kings MMA, by Rafael Cordeiro, and Black House, where they train Anderson Silva, Minotauro and Minotouro, Vitor belfort e Lyoto Machida
