Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, November 16, 2007 – Growing up in the favelas of San Paulo, Flavio Alvaro earned the nickname "Sobrevivente" a Portuguese word that means "Survivor," because he channeled his adversity through the disciplines of Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu. Indeed, Alvaro has endured triumph and loss in his effort to get to the top of the RioHeroes summit.
The last time we saw Alvaro in action he was on a roll, defending his Middleweight Belt in RioHeroes 8. The Sobrevivente had won seven fights in a row dating back to RioHeroes 1, when Pedro "Stone Hands" Santos viciously yanked the title away in a brutalizing final bout.
This November 27, at 7 P.M., Alvaro will get his chance for revenge against Santos at the world's only true Vale Tudo league. RioHeroes will once again present the live broadcast for free to all its loyal fans, as well as newcomers to the world of Vale Tudo fighting.
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, November 2nd, 2007 –RioHeroes.com has announced their Free Live Event, RioHeroes 11, and is granting full access of all archived fights. On Tuesday, 6 November at 7:00 P.M. EST, eight warriors will enter the steel cage, but only one will emerge as the new Rio Heroes Super-Lightweight Champion. “This event will be to the best Rio Heroes tournament yet,” promises Rio Heroes referree Jorge Pereira. “The Super Lightweight fighters are our toughest guys. They are lighter and faster on their feet so this promises to be an electrifying event.”
The first match pits favorite Johnny “Rat Face” Eduardo against William “Torinho” Viana. Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo and Viana are both seasoned and well-trained Muay Thai masters weighing in at an identical 150 lbs. However, Eduardo holds a slight edge over Viana according to Pereira. “Eduardo is going to be a superstar,” he says. But Viana is no slouch. When he’s not in the ring, William plays table tennis to hone in on his reflexes and relax his mind. Discipline and sanctity will be needed as he goes up against Rat Face.
