Greetings! Long time forum lurker here.
I am posting today to solicit your help in finding sponsorship for my friend Marcos "Loro" Galvão. He will be fighting to become the challenger for the Shooto featherweight belt on May 18 at Shooto, in Tokyo.
For those who don't know of him, Loro, from Nova União, was a world and Brazilian JiuJitsu champion at pretty much every belt before dedicating himself entirely to MMA, after receiving his black belt from André Pederneiras. He is 5w 1l, which was a decision to current Shooto World champion Akitoshi Hokazono.
For fear of the FRAT, I will keep it to this for now.
That's awesome, Juggs! Unfortunately, I will not be there. I'm just trying to help Loro out as much as I can before he goes. Hopefully this will set up a championship fight for him. He deserves it.
Yes, Einux, he will fight Osawa. This fight supposedly will decide who will fight Akitoshi Hokazono for the title. I agree that Loro's stand up has improved a lot. In his fight with Fredson he was already a lot better but he was very cautious. He trains a lot all the time and should only show more facets of his game from now on.
