The main card features an enticing clash in the bantamweight division, pitting Eduardo Torres Caut against Victor Hugo Silva, offering an exciting platform for sports betting enthusiasts.

Torres has won his last five battles after his only defeat in his career. His recent success was a first round TKO over Guilherme Miranda back in ROK 6 in June of this year.

“Striker” has established quality performances in various fighting leagues. He has gone 4-0 in Nakamura Fight Championship, 4-0 in Aspera Fighting Championship, and 1-2 in Rio Fight Championship.

His ranking has increased a bit over the years as well, as he is currently ninth in Brazil for best bantamweight and fifth for welterweight. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase his skills on a big stage.
