Anyone who thought Adriano Martins would give up on the Jungle Fight belt, after losing at the 30th installment of the promotion, was wrong.
On the occasion, Adriano lost his belt via judges’ decision, and now he’s gearing up to return to the ring at the event Wallid Ismail in promoting in the Mangueira favela of Rio de Janeiro.
At the event, the 34th Jungle Fight show, Martins will face the game Neilson Gomes for the interim Jungle Fight belt. Martins will go into the fight riding the wake of his WFE Platinum title win last September in Salvador, having overcome Diego Braga.
“I’m stoked to be back at Jungle. I hope to have a great fight, since I’ve really picked up the pace in training, It may be my last fight of the year, but my manager and trainers will decide that,” Adriano told reporter Arthur Castro.
