Few names in MMA are as legendary as Kazushi Sakuraba. Heading to Tiger Muay Thai and MMA training camp, Phuket, Thailand with a perfect 9-0 professional record in MMA, Nova Uniao BJJ Black Belt Yan Cabral was training for an upcoming MMA fight in the Japanese MMA promotion DEEP, when he received the offer to face PRIDE FC and Japanese Icon Kazushi Sakuraba at DREAM 17.
An accomplished Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, Yan used his grappling skills to secure an impressive head and arm victory at 2:42 on the second round.
Tiger Muay Thai and MMA Phuket looks forward to hosting the Nova Uniao black belt back at the gym later this year as he continues to seek out the top training available to improving his striking abilities.
