Jonas Bilharinho made history on Saturday night (12). The Team Nogueira athlete became the first fighter to become champion of Jungle Fight in two different categories. In the 76th edition of the show, held at the Prudente de Morais gymnasium, in Itu-SP, Bilharinho achieved victory with a beautiful knockout. With a high kick he sent Fabiano Soldado to the canvas. The result guaranteed him the featherweight belt (up to 66 kg.), as he also holds the bantamweight belt (up to 61,2 kg.).

O Jungle Fight 76, which marked the event's debut at Bandeirantes, featured three title fights and did not disappoint the public in the interior of São Paulo. In his first title fight, Bilharinho showed his talent and needed just 1m26s to land a beautiful high kick and knock out Fabiano Soldado. Undefeated in his career with six victories, Jonas, just 24 years old, is already emerging as one of the biggest revelations on the national scene.
In another title fight, Bruno Lopes dominated Jose Suavecito for 15 minutes to win the unanimous decision of the judges. He receives the welterweight belt, which had been vacant since the departure of Elizeu Capoeira for the UFC.
In the women's fight of the night, the bantamweight champion, Ericka Almeida, had no major difficulties in retaining her title. She landed a triangle from mount and forced Chile's Jennifer Gonzalez to give up.
