A Russian and a Brazilian to decide one-million payout in Abu Dhabi

Marcão Oliveira (Brazil) and Shamil Abdurahimov (Russia) are the two who made it through to the final of the openweight final of the ADFC, an MMA event in Abu Dhabi paying out one million dirhams to the champion. The grand finale is set for January 2011.

This Friday, Marcos secured his spot in the decider after taking a unanimous-decision win over England’s Neil Wain. Now Shamil upped his stock by dispatching former UFC and Pride FC star Rameau Sokoudjou in the third round.

The event provided further proof that Abu Dhabi is the land where the unbelievable comes true. At ADFC 2, a local MMA event, France’s Fernand Lopez, for example, in the ring sang the top-of-the-charts (in Brazil) rap “Rap das Armas,” after overcoming Italy’s Matteo Piran.
