This Thursday on FITE from Brazil
SAO PAULO, Бразилия (Юли 12, 2021) – The first SFT event of 2021,SFT 27, will be held this Thursday night (Юли 15) Sao Paulo в, Бразилия, featuring a pair of SFT title fights, in SFT’s first show since last December.
SFT 27 will be streamed exclusively on FITE in the United States and worldwide on pay per view via the FITE app and website (www.FITE.tv), като се започне от 6:00 p.m. И / 3:00 p.m. PT, for only $14.99.
“The wait is over,” SFT presidentDavid Hudson proclaimed. “Our main event between rising star ‘Maumito’ and always dangerous Bispo will determine who the King of Brazilian lightweights is today. We also have another SFT title fight as Cantuaria and Borges battle for the vacant SFT female flyweight crown. The rest of this card is loaded as well with some of Brazil’s up-and-coming fighters
The main event pits SFT’s 2020 Fighter на годината, Manuel “Maumito” Sousa (6-0-0, SFT: 6-0-0), срещу ветеранаBrendo “The Monster” Bispo (17-4-0, SFT: 1-0-0) for the vacant SFT Lightweight Championship.
The 23-year-old Sousa is a tremendous striker whose overall combat sports record includes 23 straight victories in kickboxing, 18 с нокаут, and all six of his pro MMA fights have been victories in SFT competition, none going into the third round.
“I’m training well, a lot on the ground, because I know he has a Jiu-Jitsu black belt,” Sousa reported. “But since I’m training hard, I’m not worried about that. MMA brings together all areas, so you need to be ready. In training, we put ourselves in danger, as if we were in the fight, and that increases my confidence, and it keeps the gas in check. At 27 възраст, Brendo Bispo has more experience in professional MMA than me with 17 wins and four losses. ‘Maranhão’ sees the point as positive, обаче, he knows that it is not a guarantee of victory. Therefore, he benefits from his work carried out at Chute Boxe Diego Lima, one of the main teams in the country.”
Currently on a 6-fight win streak, Bispo accepted the challenge of fighting hot prospect Sousa after a few other fighters passed on the opportunity. Acclaimed as one of the top lightweights in Brazil, Bispo now has the chance to prove he’s No. 1 versus Sousa. Bispo trains at the famed Chute Boxeo, under the direction of the famedCharles Oliveira. A solid all-around fighter, the more experienced Bispo has seven victories by knockout, along with five more by submission.
“As often as I’ve fought,” Bispo said, “I always think like it’s the first time. Така, I don’t generate as many expectations and my mind goes blank, something that helps me a lot in my daily life and in the fight. On the other hand, I’ve learned a lot by climbing in the cage to fight 22 пъти, so that helps. The main one, обаче, is the training at Chute Boxe Diego Lima. Now, in the final stretch of the fight, we are going more slowly, working on our strategy, rest, and weight loss. Diego Lima is my teacher, приятел, and manager (смее), so he’s been with me. Unfortunately, he won’t be able to be in my corner, but he spent the necessary time.You can expect a renewed Brendo; more technical, по-бързо, and stronger.
В съвместно черта събитието, Mayra Cantuaria (8-3-1, SFT: 2-0-0) лицаPaty Borges (4-4-0, SFT: 2-2-0) for the vacant SFT Female Flyweight Championship.
