This Saturday afternoon in Rio de Janeiro marked the 21st installment of the Shooto Brazil event. Featured on the card were some of the standouts from Nova União’s new generation. Worth mentioning is that not a single of the bouts went to the judges, almost all ending in the first round.

In the evening’s main event, Amilcar Alves returned to his winning ways after back-to-back losses in the UFC. Back in the Brazilian domestic ring, Amilcar submitted Edimilson Santos with an arm-triangle in the second round. Another of André Pederneiras’s beasts, Hacran Dias also won by submission, against Arielson Silva, but in the opening round.

In the fight defining the next challenger to the promotion’s lightweight title, Eliene Pit put away Eli Frank by knockout in the first round. With the win, the fighter is now in line to face Felipe Olivieri at a date still to be determined.

Aconteceu na tarde deste sábado, no teatro da Faculdade Bennett, no Rio de Janeiro, o Shooto Brasil 21. No card, alguns dos destaques da nova geração da Nova União. Vale destacar que nenhuma luta da edição ficou na mão dos juízes, quase todas definidas no primeiro assalto.

Na principal luta da noite, Amilcar Alves voltou a vencer depois de duas derrotas no UFC. De volta aos ringues nacionais, Amilcar finalizou Edimilson Santos com um triângulo de mão, no segundo assalto. Outra fera do time de André Pederneiras, Hacran Dias também finalizou contra Arielson Silva, só que no round inicial.

Num combate que valia a chance pelo cinturão 70kg da organização, a fera de Brasília Eliene Pit tratou de nocautear Eli Frank logo no primeiro round. Com o triunfo, o lutador agora encara o campeão Felipe Olivieri em data ainda indefinida.
