Egan Inoue to defend Title in Hawaii
Challenger Marcos De Silva is "Deadly"!

This will be Inoue’s toughest test to date. In his last appearance in Super Brawl, De Silva choked Hawaiian fighter, Ronald "The Machine Gun" Jhun unconscious in less than 3 minutes! "Marcos is big and strong. His submissions are deadly! These are truly two of the elite fighters in the world at this weight. This has the ear markings of an epic battle!" T.Jay Thompson, Promoter.

Inoue’s record is unblemished in the 185lb class. He has retained a Super Brawl title belt for over 3 years. One, in the old heavyweight class (over 200lbs) by beating Marcelo Tiger in a controversial match in 1999. And most recently, he obtained the Super Brawl middleweight title by beating #10 World ranked Joe Doerksen in Super Brawl 22. "I really enjoy fighting in Hawaii. It means a lot to me to have the hometown fans behind me." When asked about how he thought the fight would go, Inoue responded, "This guy is no joke. I was there when he beat Ronald. I don’t plan on suffering the same fate!"

De Silva, grew up in the mean streets of Fortunado, Brazil. He is a multiple Jiu-Jitsu black belt champion and speaks little English, letting his fighting do the talking for him. "I respect Egan Inoue, but I will defeat him like the others."
