As Real As It Gets

Wohoooooo! for years i had dreamed of seeing an event like this. Vale Tudo (Portugese for anything goes) which is a fight sport that originated in Brazil for almost a century now. Tomorrow October 16, 2007, at 7pm EST witness a live internet fight at www.rioheroes.com It would be their 10th show and still going...

This is as real at it gets, almost no rules! bare knuckle fighting with no time outs and MMA sanctioned rules (except for no eye gouging, no biting, no hair pulling and no strikes to the groin) .

A true warriors dream to be in. They are not against MMA but they just want to get rid of all the hype, corporate power handling and BS. It also proves to be safer than sanctioned fights in MMA leagues and organizations. This puts Vale Tudo on the pedestals as a respected sport that is struggling in a world of commercialization. If you think this is brutal, this isn't for you...

I think fighting is fighting and the sport wants the best possible ways to make it look natural.


Once again, Obrigado Brasil!
