Russian Red Devils vs. Brazil's Naja Extreme at Next M-1 Challenge

Next Saturday, a little more than a week after their attention-grabbing excursion to Japan, M-1 Global and Affliction hold their fourth M-1 Challenge event of 2009. This time, the squads will duke it out in São Paulo, Brazil, with the hometown Team Naja Extreme (named for their Brazilian fight gear company owners and trained by Black House co-founder Carlos Barreto) going toe-to-toe with Russia's Red Devil Sport Club in the night's main attractions. Filling out the decidedly Euro-flavored show are five matchups each between Bulgaria-Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) and Germany-Russian Legion. Here's the full fight card, as well as team standings from this year's Challenges, updated by M-1 after this week's show.

I initially read that as Red Devils vs. Brazilian Ninjas. I thought it was an article about the next Deadliest Warrior.
