The last five days has been filled with great news for the Brazilian Top Team, after the great victory of Rousimar "Toquinho" Palhares (14-3-0) over Mike Massenzio (13-6 - 0) at the UFC 142 Rio with his trade mark, Heel Hook.
Yesterday Milton Vieira signed with the UFC and he is only waiting for the call to fight. Vieira holds a second degree black belt in BJJ under Murilo Bustamente, head coach at Brazilian Top Team where Vieira alongside the UFC's Rousimar Palhares, Mitinho Vieira (13-7-1) won in his debut at Strikeforce Challengers18, Sterling Ford for the first 4:49 of the round with his creation "The Anaconda Choke."
Milton Vieira, who fought as a lightweight in Strikeforce, will move down to 145lb when he makes his octagon debut sometime in 2012.
The end of the year ended badly for BTT Family but the beginning of this New Year shows much promise with Miltinho and Palhares at UFC in 2012 and more good news to follow.
In another sensational fight, Rousimar "Toquinho" Palhares (14-3-0) defeated Mike Massenzio (13-6- 0) at UFC Rio by Heel Hook.
The athlete Toquinho of the Brazilian Top Team surprised Massenzio shortened the distance to take him to the ground, and attack the legs connecting to an amazing heel hook to win at First Round
At interview with Joe Rogan, Rousimar Palhares made a nice tribute to Eraldo Paes, who passed away victim of Cancer recently.
