Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, November 2nd, 2007 –RioHeroes.com has announced their Free Live Event, RioHeroes 11, and is granting full access of all archived fights. On Tuesday, 6 November at 7:00 P.M. EST, eight warriors will enter the steel cage, but only one will emerge as the new Rio Heroes Super-Lightweight Champion. “This event will be to the best Rio Heroes tournament yet,” promises Rio Heroes referree Jorge Pereira. “The Super Lightweight fighters are our toughest guys. They are lighter and faster on their feet so this promises to be an electrifying event.”
The first match pits favorite Johnny “Rat Face” Eduardo against William “Torinho” Viana. Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo and Viana are both seasoned and well-trained Muay Thai masters weighing in at an identical 150 lbs. However, Eduardo holds a slight edge over Viana according to Pereira. “Eduardo is going to be a superstar,” he says. But Viana is no slouch. When he’s not in the ring, William plays table tennis to hone in on his reflexes and relax his mind. Discipline and sanctity will be needed as he goes up against Rat Face.
Mark Burch and Yoshiki Takahashi came to Trenton, NJ on July 14th with a score to settle. The two had met once before, in Costa Rica, where the fight ended in controversy after Takahashi took an unintentional thumb in the eye and was declared unable to continue. Both fighters left the ring unsatisfied, and Takahashi wanted to fight Burch again at the after-party. In New Jersey the Japanese MMA veteran got his chance to finish what he started.
