Shooto Brazil 12 This Weekend to Benefit Will Ribeiro

by Chris Nelson on May 27, 2009 12:45 AM EDT

With all the major MMA going on in the States and abroad, this coming weekend's quaint but exciting Shooto Brazil 12 card in Rio de Janeiro seems to have slipped under the radar. Local standouts such as Nova União submission specialist "Jorjão" Rodrigues and Nogueira protegee Igor "Chatubinha" will be on display, and Shooto Brazil President Dedé Pederneiras has announced that all proceeds from the show will go toward medical expenses for fallen Shooto and WEC veteran Will Ribeiro as he recovers from his traumatic motorcycle accident.
