GRACIEMAG.com broke the news this Wednesday of Vinicius “Draculino” Magalhães’s imminent Strikeforce debut. Although his opponent has not yet been confirmed, the black belt is confirmed to fight on August 21.
Draculino was a standout at the main gentle art competitions during his day and produced a number of top black belts, among them Romulo Barral. In MMA, though, the master at Gracie Barra Houston has only appeared twice, and his Strikeforce fight will uneven his record. Draculino’s win came over Kleber Gaudino in the Heat promotion in 2003, by way of submission. His loss came against Fabio Mello at Storm Samurai.
Check out the veteran in MMA action:
WAR DRACULINO! I have seen him here training at our gym and he has blood on the eyes and war in his heart!
Hey Carlos, in your post you accidently spelled Draculino’s name incorrectly. “Draculina was a standout at the main gentle art”.
Hey “Misspelled”, thanks for the tip. That was actually my mistake, not Carlos’s, as I translated his article. I appreciate the help.
Best,
John
Let’s Go Draculino.
