One of the most promising of the bantamweights, Will Ribeiro had his career of MMA fighter interrupted in December of 2008, after suffering a serious motorcycle accident (in) Rio de Janeiro. One year later, the WEC’s promising fighter will be back to the fight world.

At Shooto Brasil 14, which takes place November 28 at Bennett College, in Rio de Janeiro, Ribeiro will be one of the judges of the combat. "I hope that he can be invited to other events, so he can make some money and that happens on his treatment costs, that’s expensive", said André Pederneiras, inspired by Artur Mariano, who placed Will as one of the judges of the Brazilian Muay Thai Championships.
