Brazilski kikbokser Saulo Cavalari je odlučio da okači bokserske rukavice o klin i da navuče na sebe “tanke” MMA rukavice. On je izjavio da ulazi u MMA vode. Saulo je bio šampion Gloryeve poluteške kategorije međutim izgubio je pojas i plan mu je prvo da osvoji pojas nazad i onda krajem godine da pređe na MMA. 

Saulo je izjavio za “MMAFighting”: 

“I’m thinking about making my debut by the end of the year. Until then, I still have a contract with GLORY and I’ll fight to become champion again. 

When I started training kickboxing, most of my friends moved to MMA, started training jiu-jitsu, but I stayed in kickboxing and became a world champion. I love kickboxing, but I always wanted more challenges. I’m a fighter and I want to challenge myself in different areas.” 

Biće zanimljivo da vidimo ko će da mu bude prvi protivnik u MMA borbama i gde će da odradi svoj MMA debi.
