Jungle Fight this weekend

This weekend, on November 26th, Jungle Fight will again return to Manus, Brazil. Jungle Fight is the largest MMA promotion in Brazil and features some well known fighters. Here is a rundown of the fight card:

Jungle Fight V: Fight to Save the Jungle
Ivan Batman vs. Fabio Tigrao
Luciano Azevedo vs. Jose Aldo
Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos vs. Michael Materla
Helio Dipp vs. Mark Sursa
Alexandre Cacareco vs. Julio Cesar Jamanta
Fredson Paixao vs. Miljan Djurasinovic
Leopoldo Montenegro vs. Miodrag Petkovich
Jose "Pele" Landi-Jons vs. Alexander Shlemenko

"Pele" is best known in the US for defeating UFC Welterweight Champion Matt Hughes. I am curious to see the results for several of these fights, including "Cyborg" Santos. I would love to see both Pele and Cyborg fight in the U.S. soon.


UPDATE:
Pele and Cyborg both won their fights at Jungle Fight. Pele scored a decision and Cyborg a 2nd Round KO. I hope these two guys will fight either in the UFC or PRIDE sometime soon.
