Meca World Vale Tudo About To Take Off!
MECA World Vale Tudo About to Take Off! By Eduardo Alonso The biggest NHB event in Brazil nowadays, MECA World Vale Tudo, is going to take a major step next year, and hold events every single month, showcasing the best of the young fighting talent, not only from Brazil, but from around the world! In a conversation with FCF, event promoter and Chute Boxe coach Rudimar Fedrigo explained the big plans for the event next year. According to Rudimar, Sportv (The cable channel that carries MECA and most Vale Tudo events in Brazil, and MECA’s biggest sponsor) made a change in direction, and decided to support NHB even further, and invest more money in it. With that decision, it was established that MECA will now have one event per month during the course of next year! That means 12 events in the year, and an even bigger production. And that’s not all… MECA will now have shows all over Brazil, not only in the city of Curitiba like in the previous editions of the event. Cities like Sao Paulo and Rio are scheduled to have MECA events, and Curitiba, of course, will host the first MECA of next year, tentatively scheduled for early January. As if all this news wasn’t enough, MECA will now take another major step and add more international flavor to the event, featuring fighters from several countries during the course of the year, like the USA, Japan and Russia, facing the top young fighting talent from Brazil! The event will also look to have some big names in there, and Chute Boxe stars like Anderson Silva and Pele Landi are eager to fight at the event. This is great news not only for MECA but for the sport as a whole, especially in Brazil! This will certainly help the sport to reach mainstream in Brazil, and will provide a bigger number of young fighters, from all over the world, a chance to showcase their skills and give their careers a start! FCF wishes MECA the best of luck in its new phase, and we will be there for sure to cover the action from MECA all year long! |
