Lucio Linhares signs with the UFC and replaces Sakara

Postby NWOWolfpack » Sun Sep 27, 2009 8:40 pm

Rousimar Palhares, the "Toquinho", has a new adversary. Alleging problems with documentation, Alessio Sakara was substituted by Lucio Linhares (following a source close to the athlete). Lucio is a Jiu-Jitsu black belt of the Alliance Team and has made his mark in M-1, where he conquested a sequence of five consecutive victories. Rousimar Palhares is completely recovered from his surgery and is training hard at Brazilian Top Team in Lagoa, Rio de Janeiro - Brazil.

Linhares is also a world class BJJ fighter but he has the edge on standup, he's agressive and for sure will knock Palhares out

Palhares owns better takedowns but is weak standing, where Linhares may take advantage.

Linhares was one of the Affliction widows. Nice guy. Had the opportunity to talk and interview him once.
