Former Fedor, ‘Minotauro’ Foe Wagner ‘Zuluzinho’ to Fight for First Time Since 2010

Super heavyweight Wagner da Conceicao Martins, better known as Wagner “Zuluzinho,” will return to action for the first time in nearly eight years when he faces “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3” competitor Job Kleber Melo at an Imortal FC event on June 2.

The 39-year-old Zuluzinho has not competed since suffering a first-round knockout loss to Geronimo dos Santos on Nov. 30, 2010., the Brazilian is hoping that he will get a chance to compete in Japan again, where he once fought the likes of Fedor Emelianenko, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Eric Esch under the Pride Fighting Championships banner.
