FEATURED FIGHTER
September 6th, 2009 | Published in Uncategorized
We don’t mean to sand bag so we are just going to tell you flat out… this is a bad man. Ururahy Rodrigues is 18-1 as a pro but if we fight him here in the states he shows up 3-1. Most of his fights were in Brazil and over half were at 170lbs. Now exclusively at 155lbs we are taking all comers. Based out of Atlanta Ururahy has quickly made himself a local favorite by blasting through his opponents. Atlanta fight promoter Andy Stroud says “I love having him fight in our shows, he is very exciting and fearless. The crowd loves watching him fight”.
We have been approached by SHINE fights about trying to set up a fight between Ururahy and a very feared opponent in ATT’s Johnathan Jorgel. SHINE’s matchmaker said they were having a hard time finding a match for Jorgel because he is supposed to be the top new prospect coming out of that camp. While at Shine we asked Ururahy if he would step up and fight Jorgel in the next Shine and his answer was, “I’ll fight him, I’ll fight him tonight if you want”.
