It’s quite possible you’ve never actually heard of Yan Cabral.
A resident of Spain, the undefeated Nova Uniao black belt and Brazilian native began fighting
professionally in 2007, and he’s remarkably submitted each of his first
10 opponents, including Kazushi Sakuraba at September’s DREAM.17 event.
But Cabral has yet to fight on U.S. soil. After his recent high-profile win, the 28-year-old is hoping to change all that and lead a charge of European talent to global prominence.
