With Windersson Nunes X Popo Freitas as the main event of Fight Music Show 1 fans are expecting another stacked event as that show was broadcasted live on Canal Combate in Brazil, and had a live audience of over 3,500 VIP attendees.

For fans of Cris Cyborg the idea of her returning back to the place where she had her first UFC fight to start her boxing career seems sentimental as the country really supported their champion as she grew through the ranks of Curitiba before heading to the USA and becoming the sport of MMA’s only Grand Slam Champion with belts for StrikeForce, Invicta FC, UFC, and Bellator MMA in the Featherweight division. While fans have been hopeful a Katie Taylor fight would happen, a debut in her hometown of Curitiba Brazil might be a difficult opportunity to resist.
