HDNet Fights has selected its broadcasting team for Thursday’s “Shooto Brazil: Fight for BOPE” event, which HDNet airs via one-day delay on Friday at 10 p.m. ET (7 p.m. PT).
UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie is the show’s color commentator, and MMAjunkie.com lead staff reporter John Morgan serves as the play-by-play man.
The private event serves as a fundraiser for Batalhao de Operacoes Policiais Especiais (Special Police Operations Battalion) – also called BOPE – which is Rio de Janeiro’s military special forces.
