Brazil has entered the radar of Hype FC, a Russian MMA organization. The company will hold its first event in the country on March 11th, in Rio de Janeiro, more precisely at the Farmasi Arena. The main event fighters will be... Sharabutdin Magomedov, the UFC Pirate, and Jorge masvidal, former challenger for the welterweight title (up to 77,1 kg) and former holder of the company's 'BMF' (baddest motherfucker) belt.

The organization itself announced the fight and the attraction this Friday (27) through its social networks. The fight between Shara, 31, and Masvidal, 41, will be grappling, with the rules being submission, focusing on the finish. The interesting thing is that the Russian and the American are known for their striking quality, however, as they are MMA professionals, they accepted the challenge and the adventure in Brazil.
