Jungle Fight, the largest MMA event in Latin America, will hold its last edition of the year at the Hélio Maurício gymnasium, at Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, this Saturday (12/18). And to announce the event, the organizers will hold a press conference at the Rogério Steinberg auditorium, at 2 pm, this Friday (12/17). All fighters will be present, as well as the president of the brand, Wallid Ismail.
The main event of the night will be the fight between the exciting Edilberto Crocotá and Sergio Junior, in addition to the presence of foreign athletes, such as the Russian Igor Vasilyew, who duels with Ildemar Marajó, and the Hawaiian Andrew Smith, who faces Nelson Martins.
Watching the entire ring setup, Wallid made a point of thanking Flamengo for their support and praised the professionalization of MMA in Brazil.
"The event will be televised in 40 countries. Live on Combate in Brazil and in the United States on ESPN. This is incredible. We're starting to draw the world's attention to Brazilian talent. MMA is the fastest-growing sport on the planet, and Brazil continues to be successful. I'd also like to thank Cacau (vice president of Fla-Gávea) and president Patricia Amorim, who gave Jungle Fight their full support. The president comes from the sport and knows how important it is. She understands how much dedication it takes to achieve a result, a record, or a victory," said Wallid.
