| Rafael Sapo (12-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who picked up his fifth win in six fights with a knockout of Travis Lutter at the recent Moosin MMA event in Massachusetts, has signed a four-fight deal with the UFC.
Renzo Gracie announced the middleweight fighter's signing via his official website.
Natal is an instructor ("professor") at Gracie's New York City-based academy.
The former Ring of Combat champion is expected to debut with the UFC this fall. | |

| I remember when Brazilian fighters were named 'THE AXE MURDERER" "NINJA" "SHOGUN" and not "cigano" "banha" "napao" "sapo" "feijao" ect. I am sure all those names are something cool and brutal in Portuguese but they don't carry the same effect. | |

| Sapo = frog or toad.
Cigano = gypsy
feijao = beans | |
