UFC veteran Henrique “Frankenstein” da Silva will compete for the first time since being cut following a loss to Gokhan Saki on March 10, but the main event is not the biggest attraction of Mr. Cage 34 in Manaus, Brazil.
Mr. Cage 34 will feature a strawweight fight between Railson Paixao and transgender woman Anne Veriato at the event.
Veriato, who is 21 years old, has been training and competing in jiu-jitsu since she was seven. Training at a gym in Manaus alongside several athletes that had already done the move from jiu-jitsu mats to the MMA cages, Veriato wanted to experience fighting mixed martial arts as well.
