Wallid Ismail is in a meeting. Or at war, as he likes to say. Half an hour later, though, he returns GRACIEMAG.com’s call. The former fighter from the Amazon asks some questions, praises the Brazilians in the UFC, and then spills the news: “I am finishing up negotiations for my next event. Now Jungle Fight shall be called MMA World League, and it will be a great show. We are working hard to put on the event this year in the USA, that’s what I hope, but at the latest the maiden event will be beginning of next year.”
According to Wallid, the main fight has already been determined. “Jacare will have his first under 185 pound [84kg] defense of the title he won at Jungle Fight in Slovenia, during December of last year, against a fighter yet to be decided. Jungle always launched countless talents that are now kicking ass all over the world, and with the MMA World League that will certainly continue to be the case,” bets the former fighter. Ronaldo Jacare has seven wins, one loss and is coming off two quick submissions in the rings of Manaus, in September and October of this year.
