The beast form Amazonas state Fabio “Jungle Boy” Serrão fought this past weekend in Springfield, Massachusetts, at one of the biggest grappling events in the USA, NAGA East Coast. Once again the fighter made it to the top of the winners’ stand. Fabio captured the lightweight black belt division belt and even nabbed third place in the no-gi advanced category.
“Truth is I went to Massachusetts to fight at an MMA event and help my teammate Ricardo Funch, who will fight at the UFC event in Vancouver, Canada. But, unfortunately, the event I was going to fight at was cancelled. So I decided to try and help Team Link a bit in going for first place in the overall NAGA placing and this was the seventh time in a row the team wins,” recounts Serrão.
“Team Link is to be congratulated. We kicked butt this weekend, and now we’re focused on the preparations of Ricardo Funch, who, without a doubt, is going to kick butt in the UFC octagon and bring back yet another win for the team,” said the black belt in finishing.
