The inauguration of the new MMA team from , the Black House, was held on last Monday at Recreio dos Bandeirantes, in Rio de Janeiro . The small party took place at the huge Training Center (900 m2) between a octagon, one ring and two dojos close to a gym space of 1000m2. “Our training structure is the biggest one of the world”, said the technician director of the team Carlão Barreto, one of the owners of the project with Jorge Guimarães (entrepreneur of the athletes) and Rogério Camões (responsible by the physical preparation of the athletes). Beyond some TV actors, some of the biggest names of fighting in Brazil were there, as like Minotauro e Minotouro, Vítor Belfort, Pezão, Drago, Jucão, Buscapé, Roberto Roleta, Paquetá; the trainers Luís Alves, Paulo Nikolai, Sérgio Cunha e Paulo Nikolai and the entrepreneurs Walmir Barroso (NO GI) e Eddie (Sinister), who came from United States specially to watch the inauguration.
According to Barreto, the Black House is not just a MMA team, but will be also a fight academy that since December 4th will be having some classes of BJJ (with Roleta, Nigue and Sérgio Babu), Savate (with Richard), Submission (with Milton Vieira), Boxing (with Wagner Coelho, Fábio Coelho and Cesário) and Wrestling (Gilberto Arbués). About the MMA team, Barreto said that the names are still being defined. “We already have Sérgio Babú (submission) e Gilberto Arbués (Wrestling) as trainers and soon we will define the Muay Thai and Boxing ones. And as fighters we already have Vítor Belfort, Anderson Silva is already negotiating, Marcelo Bocão and great new talents as Daniel Lustrol, Fabrício Carledi, Edson Paredão and Boi, all of them from Campinas”, said Carlão.
Carlão said that the famous night MMA trainings that used to put together people from other teams as Minotauro, Babalu, Minotouro, Pezão and Draggo, won’t happen again. “Minotauro, Minotouro and all the athletes who train here from the night are great friends of mine, but business is business and with the Black House I must be professional, so it is sad to say that these athletes won’t be able to come here to train anymore. Our MMA team trainings will be held everyday from 10am to midday”, concluded Barreto.
