MECA World Vale Tudo 6 News By Eduardo Alonso As the year is coming to an end, the next MECA event is approaching and promoter Rudimar Fedrigo is taking care of the final details on what promises to be the best MECA event yet. Rudimar talked today with FCF and shared some news on the event. MECA 6 is now officially scheduled for January 26th, in the Brazilian city of Curitiba. The venue has yet to be decided, but it seems that the Circulo Militar [the venue that held the previous MECA events] won’t be among the choices. Rudimar also told FCF that Chute Boxe heavyweight Assuerio Silva won’t be fighting Carlos Barreto as originally planned, due to a knee injury that required surgery. Assuerio is supposed to back in about 90 days, but he will miss the MECA event. After this show, MECA will have an official middleweight and heavyweight champion. The heavyweight title will be decided in a fight between UFC and Pride veteran Carlos Barreto and newcomer Marcelo Souza. Souza will be replacing Assuerio Silva, and comes in with some pretty good credentials: he is a purple belt in BJJ, a brown belt in kickboxing and has some boxing and Muay Thai experience. On top all of that, he weighs 264 lbs. The middleweight belt will be decided in a bout between Chute Boxe rising star/Pride veteran Murilo Ninja Rua and Jorge Navalhada, who is also very experienced and coming from important wins in Brazilian NHB events. To complete the card, UFC and IVC veteran Jorge Macaco Patino will be facing a tough UFC veteran in Flavio Moura. Flavio is coming from some wins in minor NHB events around Brazil, and seems to be in the best shape of his life. Also Luiz Azeredo, the only man to beat Anderson Silva in NHB will be returning to MECA to face a Royler Gracie student. Rudimar also managed to say that he still has some surprises left for this event, we will have more details very soon! MECA 6 looks to be shaping up to be a great show, and FCF will be there to cover the action! |
