Jungle Fight celebrates 23 years with debut in Niterói, three titles and international bout

extra14 September 2026 at 21:06

Jungle Fight will celebrate its 23 years with its first edition held in Niterói, in Rio de Janeiro. The 155th edition of Latin America's largest MMA event is scheduled for October 3rd, at Arena Niterói, and will feature three title fights. Tickets were made available for free and sold out in less than 24 hours after the announcement. Live broadcasts will air on SporTV and Combate starting at 8 PM, in Brasília time.

In the main event, Rio de Janeiro native Oton Jasse will put his middleweight title, up to 84 kg, on the line against Bolivian Josias "Buffalo" Núñez. The current champion has 23 wins in 33 professional fights and built much of his record on the ground, with 20 submission victories.

Of those 20 submission wins, 17 came via hand triangle or its variations, a technique that earned him the nickname "King of the Hand Triangle." However, the title conquest came in a different way, as indicated by the rest of the article.

Why this matters

MMA fans in the region gain access to a major international event for the first time in Niterói, with a Brazilian champion defending his title against a Bolivian opponent. The event represents the expansion of Latin America's largest MMA event to new cities.
