An athlete with experience in international events like Pride FC and Deep, Milton Vieira is getting ready for his third appearance at Bitetti Combat, to take place June 18 in Rio de Janeiro’s Botafogo gymnasium.
“I was called up at the last minute, but as I had a fight scheduled for July and had been training hard, I accepted right away, so it’s cool. There aren’t many events in Brazil that can meet my purple and Bitetti values the fighters. There’s been criticism over the internet, but I’ve never had anything to complain about them – quite the contrary,” he said.
Milton is the star of one of the show’s superfights, where he will face beast from Belém Bruno “Cro Cop”.
“I know some guys who’ve trained with him and I’ve watched some of his fights over the internet. He’s a striker and is good on the ground. I don’t know much about him but I can say that I’m ready,” said the Murilo Bustamante student.
“I’m calling on all my fans from Rio to come cheer for me, from Zona Sul to Vila Isabel, and the folks from Saquarema, where my mom’s from!” said Milton in closing.
