Located in the heart of South America’s largest metropolitan region, São Paulo is a global hub for culture, business, and sports, and one of the most important cities in the history of Brazilian mixed martial arts. The LFA will now bring its brand of elite MMA to the city for the first time.
LFA 229: Martins vs. Gonçalves, will feature a welterweight main event between LFA star and The Ultimate Fighter Season 31 veteran Richard Martins (10-1) and dangerous Muay Thai specialist Vanderlei “Soul Glo” Gonçalves (9-2).
“We are very excited to return to São Paulo for LFA 229.” stated Soares. “This city has played a huge role in the development of Brazilian MMA and combat sports. The main event between Richard Martins and Vanderlei Gonçalves is the type of high-level matchup our fans expect, and it’s the perfect way to introduce the LFA to the São Paulo crowd.”
Richard Martins enters the bout as one of the most recognizable Brazilian prospects competing under the LFA banner. The TUF 31 veteran has compiled an impressive 10-1 professional record, showcasing a well-rounded skill set and composure against top competition. Martins has become a rising name in the welterweight division and now looks to secure another major victory in front of a passionate home-country audience.
Standing across from him will be Vanderlei “Soul Glo” Gonçalves, a dangerous striker known for his extensive Muay Thai background and knockout power, after successfully transitioning from Muay Thai to MMA. A regional MMA champion in Brazil, Gonçalves has earned notable victories in the striking world, including a knockout win over UFC standout and former LFA veteran Carlos Prates. With a professional MMA record of 9-2, he now looks to translate his elite striking pedigree into the biggest win of his mixed martial arts career.
With elite Brazilian prospects, international talent, and a welterweight main event featuring two dangerous finishers, LFA 229 promises an action-packed night of mixed martial arts in São Paulo.
The event will mark the promotion's first visit to São Paulo.
A welterweight bout between Richard Martins and Vanderlei Gonçalves is scheduled to headline the event.
