Miltinho Viera debuted on the right foot in Strikeforce
Black belt Miltinho Viera returned to an international event in style. In action, on Friday night, at Strikeforce Challengers 18, the Brazilian faced Sterling Ford and gave the North American no chance. Right at the beginning of the fight, the Tupiniquim athlete started working well on his striking and after taking down his opponent he showed his specialty: the hand triangle, submitting his opponent at the end of the first round.
“Lots of shins to the leg, two more to the face, with a sequence of crosses and straights, forcing a double leg… So you’ve seen it, right? Hand triangle”, celebrated Miltinho, on Twitter.
The show also featured two more Brazilian athletes in action, who were not as lucky: Danillo “Índio” Villefort faced Nate James and was defeated in a unanimous decision by the judges.
