GRAPPLING IN GERMANY:

"I am a lion - the UGC is my jungle - and I am on a hunt..."
Brazilian Black Belts on UGC 8!
The eighth edition of the annual 'Ultimate Grappling Challenge' The UGC VIII will be held on Saturday, October 7th 2006, in the Jahnhalle in 72116 Mössingen (Germany). Fighters from Spain, Switzerland, UK, Czech Republic, USA, Brazil and Germany have registered so far to compete in the hottest and toughest Submission Wrestling Championship in Europe. The Advanced Division of the UGC has NO time limits and NO points, so the only way to beat your opponent is by SUBMISSION! Also the annual European Grand Prix in MMA is hosted at this event

Two brazilian Black Belts have already signed up to compete: Junior Caveirinha and Anderson Pereira will start in the -65 kg Division to fight for the prestigious title of the UGC. And also the Champions Franco DeLeonardis (Germany) and Tito Beltran (Spain) have already put their names on the list of fighters, to defend their titles.
