Speaking of judo, two historic names from the traditional sport were confirmed at the press conference to promote Spaten Fight Night 3, held last Thursday (21) and which featured legends Flávio Canto and Kyra Gracie.

What the company seeks is to strengthen combat sports and consolidate itself as the largest Brazilian fighting franchise. With nationwide broadcast, the expectation is that Spaten Fight Night 3 will be an even bigger show than its predecessors.
