Brazil in the octagon
In the main card, flyweight (up to 56,7 kg) Bruno Bulldog faces Manel Kape , in a duel where the winner could get closer to a chance to challenge Alexandre Pantoja for the title.

Predictions will be made by the SUPER LUTAS team . At the end of the 2024 season, whoever obtains the most points will be the team's 'best bettor'.
