One of the best strikers in the world is getting ready to make his MMA debut.
Saulo Cavalari, a former GLORY light heavyweight champion who holds an impressive 60-5 record with 49 knockouts in kickboxing, told MMA Fighting this week that he has started his transition to mixed martial arts.
Cavalari moved to Curitiba, Brazil to train at the Gile Ribeiro gym, and he now is eyeing a late-2017 debut in the sport. But that doesn’t mean he’s done competing in kickboxing.
"I’m thinking about making my debut by the end of the year,” Cavalari told MMA Fighting.
