Should men and women be able to fight one another in sanctioned MMA competition? | Sherdog.com
Shooto Brazil recently announced that a bantamweight contest between a man and a woman is slated for Friday’s event in Rio de Janeiro.
Sherdog.com attempted to contact the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission for comment, but CABMMA officials could not be immediately reached.
Shooto Brazil 45 takes place Dec. 20 from the Miecimo da Silva Sports Complex and is headlined by a rematch between Lincoln da Sa and Alexandre Pantoja Passidomo.
Falcao made his lone MMA appearance this past April, as the Nova Uniao rep was submitted with a rear-naked choke at Upper Sport Combat 2 in 3:34.
