The GFC, which receives support from the State Department of Sports and Leisure (Sedel) and public security bodies, sought to bring those fighters who have already made history in MMA, as explained by the event coordinator, Felipe Guerreiro.
“We made the proposal to these athletes and at first they didn’t really want it, but then they saw the magnitude of the event, the importance of them being at the event and they accepted. There are fighters who are teachers, students, fathers and sons.”he said.
In total, 20 fighters will be participating in the competition, with five fights on the preliminary card and six on the main card. The rematch between Anne Pitbul and Kelly is the only women’s fight and according to the organizer of the GFC, Hayan Amanajás, this was due to the low number of women in MMA in Amapá. “There are few girls who are practicing MMA. We put this women’s fight on to encourage others to train and compete.”he said.
