Following a third round TKO of Takashi Sugiura (above) in his MMA debut at Sengoku V, BJJ champion Xande Ribeiro tells Tatame that he may be ready to return to action as soon as November.

"I don’t know yet (about his next fight), but I might be back in November. I’ll rest this week, train another three and fight again... There are a lot of good guys in Sengoku in this division… I wanna get stronger for this weight."

World Victory Road's Sengoku VI is scheduled for November 1st.
