Torrential downpours have wreaked havoc to Nova Friburgo, Brazil, and a
pair of influential MMA training camps are turning to the fight community
to ask for assistance in battling deadly mudslides.
With hundreds already dead in the Rio de Janeiro municipality, and
countless more currently missing, Florida-based camps Team Armory and
American Top Team have set up a charity fund at
CombatAthleteCharities.com and are asking for donations to assist in the
relief efforts.
MMAjunkie.com spoke with longtime MMA manager Alex
Davis, a native of Nova Friburgo who is on the ground in Brazil
assisting with the efforts, and he described the devastation first-hand.
