Nova União with a full agenda this weekend

In recent weeks, MMA fans have had to divide their attention between good events around the world, and this weekend will be no different. However, it won't just be sports lovers who will have to be divided this time: Nova União, one of the main teams in Brazil, will be in action on two fronts this weekend.

Bellator will start the bantamweight GP (up to 61 kg) with two athletes from the team led by André Pederneiras. Eduardo Dantas, 22 years old, will make his debut in the United States against the Brazilian Wilson reis. Marcos “Louro” Galvão will also be part of the tournament and will face Chase Beebe.

In addition to being present in the United States, Nova União athletes will have commitments on the other side of the world. Japan's main MMA event, DREAM arrives at the Saitama Super Arena, and just like Bellator, it will also start a bantamweight GP. Shotoo Brasil champion, Rodolfo Marques will make his debut outside Brazil against American Yusup Saadulev.

Among Dream 17's scheduled fights, two more led by André Pederneiras will be in action: Yan Cabral will face the biggest opponent of his career. Looking for his tenth submission in ten fights, the Brazilian faces the legend Kazushi Sakuraba. In turn, Willamy “Chiquerim” is seeking rehabilitation after the defeat that cost him his exit from the UFC against Japanese Satoru Kitaoka.
