one of the first BJJ >> MMA greats. Was a complete grappler and MMA fighter back in the day
One of the first MMA fights I ever bet on was on Vitor Ribeiro against Shinya Aoki. Thought it was easy money.
In retrospect he was at the end of his career. At the time he was still only 30 years old.that was a tough one to predict. Shaolin was near the end of his career at that point. That eye injury he got from the JZ Calvacnti fight was really tough on him
And imagine being clearly outstruck by Aoki!One of the first MMA fights I ever bet on was on Vitor Ribeiro against Shinya Aoki. Thought it was easy money.
