The Cage Rage lightweight champion Vitor Ribeiro made his long awaited jump to the major leagues as he squared off against U-File Camp’s Ryuki Ueyama on march 12^th,2007.

 

“Shaolin” looked very good, basically putting on a grappling clinic for the audience. The Nova Uniao fighter put Ueyama down with a single-leg takedown and quickly passed guard, climbing to the back of his turtled opponent and finally transitioning for an armbar. Ueyama managed to roll to avoid the technique, but Ribeiro followed and eventually sunk it in, getting the tapout victory early in the first.
