Marçal and Popó face off during charity event / Reproduction Instagram
The 5 Fight Music Show, which took place last Saturday (12) at Ginásio da Portuguesa, in São Paulo, left the public with a taste of expectation and optimism for what may still come in the next events. With stars such as Acelino Popó Freitas, MC Livinho and Nego do Borel, the FMS has increasingly expanded its hall of celebrities who venture into the world of fighting. And if it depends on the statements made in this last edition, there will be a lot of rocks coming!
MC Livinho against Whindersson Nunes? See who each of them challenged after the 5th edition of Fight Music Show.
Popo vs Pablo Marcal?
The Brazilian four-time world boxing champion had a tough match in this last edition of the FMS. During the ceremonial weigh-in, El Chino Miranda had already announced that he had come to Brazil for a 'war'. The Argentine gave Popó a lot of work, who was unable to knock him out and won the fight by unanimous decision of the judges. After the announcement of the victory, with the microphone in his hands, Popó said that he does not intend to fight again in an edition of Fight Music Show against a professional boxer and even announced his 'next victim': the politician, coach and businessman Pablo Marçal.

“I’ve fought several Argentines, and this was the second one I couldn’t knock out. Even experienced people are a bit wary of this type of fight. It was good, I tested myself, I liked it, but I have nothing left to prove to anyone. I won’t fight any more fighters, okay? And if I’m going to fight in a farewell match, I’ll accept (Pablo) Marçal. If he’s here, if you’re a man enough to follow through on what you said at the beginning of the year, if you’re man enough to stand behind your words, I’ll tell Brazil that I accept your challenge,” he said.
The idea came about in June this year during an auction held by the Neymar Jr. Institute. Marçal bought a belt donated by Popó, who was also present at the charity event, for R$300. When he took the item from the boxer's hands, the former candidate for mayor of São Paulo challenged the athlete to a boxing match and, in the process, engaged the athlete in a staredown.
“We can have a great fight, it just depends on him. I don’t do that kind of fight anymore. This was my official farewell fight. If there’s another one, it’ll be Pablo Marçal and that’s it,” he concluded.
Iago Freitas vs Kalyl Silva?
The son of Popo against the son of Anderson Silva? After a crushing first-round knockout victory against Paulo Roberto, in his debut at FMS, Iago Freitas surprised the public by challenging Kalyl Silva, son of the UFC legend.
“A unique and very rewarding feeling. It’s not every day that you see a father and son boxing on the same night. It’s a privilege and an honor. My father has already shown that he was a great warrior, Anderson Silva He has already shown that he was a great warrior. Kalyl Silva, you could be next if you don't run. I'm here," he declared.

Kalyl also defeated Paulo by unanimous decision at Spaten Fight Night. Like Iago, Anderson's son is also undefeated in boxing, with three wins.
MC Livinho x Whindersson Nunes?
Another one that has been doing well in the editions of FMS is MC Livinho. The funk artist, representing the 'Fighting Nerds' team, dominated the distance with jabs that punished the influencer Fe Alves. Still in the second round, he applied a sequence of blows, alternating between hooks and crosses, which took his opponent to the canvas. At the end of the fight, Livinho showed respect by challenging Whindersson.
“With all due respect in the world. I respect his career and the person he is. My fans and his fans want to see this fight: me versus him.” Whindersson Nunes”, said the singer-songwriter.

Kleber Bambam summons Whindersson Nunes, MC Gui and Naldo
It seems like Whindersson Nunes became one of the favorite targets as an opponent in FMS. In addition to MC Livinho, the winner of the first edition of Big Brother Brasil, businessman Kleber Bambam, also launched a challenge to the comedian. And he went further. During an interview on FMS 5, Bambam listed two more names he would like to face in the ring: MC Gui and Naldo Benny.
“Here’s the deal, MC Gui, come here. I want Naldo and MC Gui on the same night in 2025. I’m going to have to do the same as McGregor, a businessman, he has to have money. MC Gui and Naldo on the same night or Whindersson Nunes. Whindersson Nunes, come with me. Who wants to see the Whindersson Nunes shout out. That's it, you have to put on a show,” declared the businessman.
In February, Kleber Bambam ventured into boxing against Popó and fell in less of a minute. Still, Bambam said he would like a rematch against the four-time champion next year.

In one of the only clashes between professionals in the FMS 5, Esquiva Falcao defeated Morramad Araújo by technical knockout. After the announcement of his victory, the Olympic medalist expressed his desire for a rematch with Hebert Conceição. Esquiva lost to Hebert at Spaten Fight Night in June.
“I already want to launch a challenge here for the next Fight Music Show. Hebert, I want the rematch with you, next time Fight Music Show or wherever you want. I want to see if you are a man, if you are a real Olympic champion to accept a rematch with Esquiva Falcão. I will beat you and show you that I was not prepared in the last fight”, he said.
While Esquiva Falcão knocked out Morramad Araújo this Saturday (12), Yamaguchi, Esquiva's brother, watched the fight from the stands at Ginásio da Portuguesa. The athlete 'scrambled' to participate in the FMS and said he wants to face nothing more, nothing less, than Vitor belfort.
“I just need Mamá (the event’s creator) to accept Yamaguchi Falcão for the next one. I want to fight with him.” Vitor belfort. I found out that Belfort's fight against Mad Dog was here (Wanderlei Silva). Why not Yamaguchi and Belfort? I think it would be a top fight. Vitor belfort, I want to fight with you even in your living room”, highlighted Yamaguchi.
