The fight program features 11 duels, with emphasis on the main duel of the night between Pedro Falcao and Glyan Alves winning the belt in the recently opened super-bantamweight category (up to 63,5kg). In the second most important fight, Mariana morais and Lara Procopio duel in search of the bantamweight belt (up to 61,2kg), vacant after Priscila Souza was removed from her position.
“We are very pleased to be able to fulfill our promise of holding Shooto editions almost monthly. And this one, in particular, promises a lot. Pedro has been winning for a long time and deserving this chance. And Glyan is coming off a great result over Luciano, one of the best athletes in the category. Regarding the girls, out of respect for Shooto's fans and athletes, we had to remove Priscila's belt and put it on the line, as she hadn't defended it for over two years and couldn't fight now either. It's the fairest. Mariana and Lara will compete for this title”, concluded Dedé Pederneiras, president of Shooto Brasil.
