Soccer club Botafogo is known as the lone star club, however, on the coming 15th of October a constellation of fighters will fill the gymnasium on Avenida General Severiano in the Botafogo borough of Rio de Janeiro. Bitetti Combat 10 will feature two under-77 kg (welterweight) GPs with domestic talent of the caliber of Edilberto Crocotá, Ivan Batman, André Chatuba and others, who will need to fight twice on the same evening to capture the title. The winners of the two Gps will face off in December for the promotion’s title.
The barrage of emails asking about tickets to the event has now been answered by promoter Amaury Bitetti:
“Tickets may be purchased at the Botafogo ticket booth and at all Toulon shops in Rio de Janeiro’s “Zona Sul”. Seats in the stands go for 40 reais and VIP seating costs 80. With a student ID they go for 20 and 40 reais, respectively,” says Bitetti.
Amaury also announced a change to the card: “Roberto Corvo is out and TFT representative Julio César Merenda will take his place.”
Check out the card (subject to change):
