Overview
- Spaten Fight Night announced on May 27, 2026 that former UFC light heavyweight champions Glover Teixeira and Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua will headline its third card in São Paulo on Aug. 29.
- The main event is a boxing match contested under eight rounds of two minutes, an adapted ruleset shorter than standard pro boxing rounds.
- The card will include judo and jiu-jitsu superfights to broaden Brazilian interest, though outlets differ on specific judo pairings with reports naming either Bia Sousa and Rafaela Silva or Beatriz Souza opposite international rivals Prisca Awiti and Raz Hershko.
- The promoter is staging the show after a September 2025 card that ended in a post-fight brawl and knockout, and it has secured Rede Globo for live national broadcast as part of a push to restore mainstream credibility.
- Teixeira remains active in MMA as a coach and has a limited-source report tying him to a June 14 heavyweight challenge, a claim that is separate from the Spaten announcement and not fully confirmed by multiple outlets.
