The controversial Brazilian grappler has been booked for Venator FC 3 against Emil Meek, MMAFighting.com has learned. The fight is scheduled to take place on May 21.
"Rousimar is a great champion who has often found himself unfairly under fire for excessive holding [alleged or real] after opponents have tapped out," Venator president Frank Merenda said in a statement. "But anyone who knows him knows that he is a good guy who never wants to hurt anyone. He's a hard worker, a serious and respectful guy who genuinely loves the world of combat sports. Above all, he has a real desire to redeem himself in front of everyone and show that he is not the "monster" that everyone talks about.
