Gesias Cavalcante dreams of Rizin fight on New Year’s Eve

Gesias Cavalcante wants to go back to the place where he became a mixed martial arts star.

The 35-year-old veteran competed under the Strikeforce, WSOF, Titan FC and Brave banners after an impressive run in K-1 Hero’s between 2006 and 2007, when he defeated Rani Yahya, Caol Uno, Hiroyuki Takaya, Nam Phan, Vitor Ribeiro and Andre Dida.

Heartbroken with the death of his manager Glenn Robinson, who suffered a heart attack in September, and also fellow MMA veteran Kid Yamamoto’s death days before, “JZ” says it leaves “a life lesson” to everyone around them.
