Il nostro amico Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro, già ospite di MILANIMAL lo scorso anno, batte Jean Silva all'ultima edizione del Cage Rage e conquista la cintura dei pesi leggeri!!Ecco cosa si legge su Sherdog:
"In the main event, Vitor Ribeiro dominated the unpredictable Jean Silva en route to a convincing victory by arm-triangle choke after 4:18 of the second round. Silva is not an easy opponent to face, and has proven especially difficult to finish.
The Chute Boxe fighter is unorthodox, flexible and tough — a combination that saved him from submission at the hands of the technically superior Ribeiro during the first round. The action took place almost entirely on the floor, as Ribeiro calmly took the fight to the ground, tangling up his tattooed opponent and passing Silva’s guard seemingly at will.
Ribeiro caught Silva in an arm-triangle towards the end of the first round, holding it long enough and tight enough that it seemed that the Chute Boxe representative was fading. Silva’s stubbornness saved him on that occasion, but when history repeated itself in the second round, Silva was left with no option but to tap out. With this victory, Ribeiro became the Cage Rage world lightweight champion, and sealed his place in the very top echelons of the world rankings. On an aside, I’ve never seen such smooth ground skills in an MMA fight. This kid really is something special, and it’s hard to believe that he’s still only 26 years old."
