Rafael Lovato Jr. and Roberto ‘Cyborg’ Abreu will meet in a superfight as the main event of Fight to Win Pro 7 in Denver, Colorado on July 15.  
The two elite black belts will face off in a special 10-minute submission-only no-gi match for the Fight To Win Pro light heavyweight title.

“Cyborg is a legend and, like Rafael, a great guy. Both of them jumped at the opportunity. Now we are a little over three and a half weeks away from one of the most epic match ups in history!"

“I’m happy to be fighting on Fight To Win for the first time,” says Roberto ‘Cyborg’ Abreu. “Especially against such a great opponent. 

Lovato is the best American in the history of the sport and we have never fought no-gi before. I'm sure it will be a battle to be remembered. 

"I am so pumped to face Cyborg!” says Rafael Lovato Jr. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for him as a competitor and person." 

I think our match will become an instant classic that people will remember for a long time. Get ready for fireworks! 

The event, which will take place at the National Western Events Complex in Denver, Colorado and will be streamed live here on FloGrappling, also features a number of big names grapplers on the card.

UFC Is It Sold? Who Cares!

UFC

There has been many conflicting reports about the sale of the UFC lately. As recently as yesterday, Dana White was a guest not eh new podcast Unfiltered featuring Jim Norton and Matt Serra where he said there is no chance the UFC is being sold despite numerous reports to the contrary from news outlets around the world. Also, there was Ariel Helwani during his band dropping some information about how as fronting the promotion in this sale. Recently, some new websites have said the sale is completed to the WME group and the Ferttitas are leaving to grow their casino empire with White getting a cut of the new promotional running and staying on in his current role despite getting a $300+ million dollar payout. Ultimately, it is hard to distinguish between fact and fiction at this point.
Dave Sholler recently said and released that there is no sale and that there would be legal action agains those that say there has been. Also, TMZ is reporting that there is no where near close to a sale and that supposed getting in Hollywood this weekend could not have happened since Zuffa’s higher ups were still in Vegas while the WME head was at a Bar Mitzvah in another country. Regardless of if the promotion is being sold or not, which would be a big deal, it needs to stop being reported as this is the click bait that White has professed reporters to talk about o gain views on their site. Ultimately, if it is sold, it will happen and we will all hear about it. Right now, it should be more important to look toward the future, the big UFC PPV that is coming up and report things like Joanna Calderwood getting a new contract and fight night bonus after professing to be broke this weekend despite putting on a stellar performance in the first female UFC Flyweight fight.

“ZE RADIOLA” LEAVES GRACIE BARRA ASSOCIATION

It is not uncommon for teams to lose members or have a split; however when one of the top coaches and leaders depart from the largest association it is big news. Such is the case for Jose “Ze Radiola” Olimpio, who recently announced the split with Gracie Barra. “Radiola” has been in charge of Gracie Barra competition team for the last few years and has been at least in part responsible for their recent resurgence, he announced in his facebook page via video that he is leaving the Gracie Barra team that, as he puts it “has defended for over 20 years” to form his own team “Ze Radiola Team”. The reasons for the split are not yet disclosed by Radiola promised a full announcement in the near future.
While that alone is newsworthy it is also important to point out that he takes with him over 120 affiliated academies from the Gracie Barra Association. “Radiola” is also the coaches for top competitors and World Champions like Braulio and Vitor Estima and Otavio Souza, who have yet to manifest if they are following their instructor or remain with Barra 

BROCK LESNAR BJJ BLUE BELT

Former UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has just earned his blue belt in BJJ from his instructor Rodrigo “Comprido” Medeiros. “Comprido” was been Lesnar’s BJJ coach for his UFC fights and now that Lesnar is schedule to fight against Mark Hunt in UFC 200 he is back training with Rodrigo and was promoted to blue belt today.
Congrats to Lesnar and “Comprido”
