While the kids anxiously await their Christmas presents, MMA fans will be treated to another installment of Celeiro Combate, a fighting event promoted by Cesário Figueiredo, a student of Claudio Coelho and boxing coach to UFC fighter Rafael dos Anjos.
On the coming 23rd, Celeiro Combate makes it to its fifth show featuring MMA, Thai boxing and boxing, with athletes of the caliber of Diego Braga (Team Nogueira) and Délson Pé de Chumbo (Gracie Fusion) facing off with Fabiano Hollyfield (Senna) and Araripe Boi (Paraná VT), respectively.

Celeiro Combate will be held at Zero Grau in Freguesia, Jacarepagua, Rio de Janeiro, and is set to begin at 7 pm.
“We expect the best. The organization of the event and the card gets better every time, and we hope a good crowd comes to watch the fights,” said Figueiredo, adding that they already have a date for the event to follow the Christmas show, “We’ll put on the sixth show at Fundição Progresso in Rio, and the card will be of the highest level,” he adds.
