IVC Invades Venezuela
16-Man Absolute Tournament
Billed as Battle between U.S. & Brazil

By Aaron Crecy

CARACAS — It is the first time that the IVC has ventured into Venezuela — and what a way to make a first impression. The tournament format is rare enough, much less a 16-man, Absolute weight-class competition with less prohibitive rules than the Ultimate Fighting Championship and even the Pride Fighting Championship.

Coordinated by Sergio Batarelli disciple Mauricio Netto and produced by the Florida-based International Group, IVC Venezuela features a mixture of young and seasoned fighters from the United States and Brazil. Though several better known fighters such as Americans Jason Godsey, Dan Bobish and Roger Neff withdrew from the event earlier in the week, the bracket remains loaded with promising fighters hoping to make a name for themselves — and claim the $10,000 first prize.




Promoters employed an aggressive $50,000 adverting and promotional campaign that included billboards, posters and fliers, along with promotional radio and television appearances by several fighters. The event will take place at the state-of-the-art Poliedra Arena and and will be broadcast on Venezuelan television.

Just 21, Netto is organizing his first MMA event after serving as Batarelli’s understudy for several years.

"The IVC was always known as being the world’s toughest event — the only one that remained true to Brazil’s original Vale Tudo rules," says Netto. "But we’ve learned from experience. With a 16-man Absolute class tournament, the winner will have to fight four times in one evening. So, it was necessary to implement a few rules to decrease the likelihood of cuts. Otherwise, the fighters might not be able to continue."

Batarelli will officiate each of the event’s fifteen bouts. The rules are as follows:

  • All matches will have a 10-minute time limit
  • No overtime period
  • No rounds or rest period
  • All fighters will wear gloves
  • Tape can only be used to protect the wrists, back of the hands and ankles
  • Headbutts are not allowed
  • Jumps on downed opponents are not allowed
  • Strikes to the back of the head and spine are not allowed
  • Strikes to the groin are legal; grabbing the groin is not allowed
  • Fights can end via submission, knockout, referee stoppage or doctor stoppage
  • Fights that last the complete 10-minute round will be go to the judges, who must select a winner

Angelo Araujo Alex Stiebling


Early favorites include Araujo, who is 3-0 versus quality opponents in Brazil’s Meca World Vale Tudo event; Rodrigues, who went 2-1 at Brazilian Vale Tudo fighting 8, losing only to Jose "Pele" Landi-Jons; and Stiebling, who dropped a judges’ decision to Mark Hughes in a UFC 28 prelim.

IVC Venezuela Notes

  • Shooto champion Alexandre "Pequeno" Nogueira of the Brazilian Top Team is in attendance. He gave a private seminar at a Jiu-Jitsu studio owned by local Francisco Salvador, displaying flawless skill, incredible quickness and extraordinary power as he demonstrated Lute Livre techniques.
  • Renken, who was submitted by Akira Shoji in Pride 9, and Hunter, who trains with Gary Goodridge, are last-minute replacements for Bobish and Neff, arriving at midnight on Saturday — just 14 hours before the event is set to begin.
  • Citing a commitment to upholding the IVC’s integrity — as well as his own — Batarelli cautioned the fighters that the rules will be strictly enforced. Fighters who commit flagrant violations will be immediately disqualified.
  • According to Netto, the IVC hopes to hold a series of similar events throughout South America.
  • Godsey withdrew from the tournament due to injury. However, because promoters still expected him to compete, they have yet to replace him in the bracket. However, several of the Brazilians have training partners who might be willing to compete in the event on short notice.
