DVD Release

April 11, 2004

Portsmouth, Hampshire

 England

No fancy name, no frills, no bling and no bull. Just full contact fight action.

The long awaited DVD release of Full Contact Fight Night is finally here. The first FCFN show was held on

Easter Sunday, April 11th, 2004 and brought with it a mix of Amateur, semi-pro and Pro fight action. Held in

Portsmouth on England’s south coast, this event promised nothing but fight action and it was delivered in

style, with an intense atmosphere that was magnified by a brutal, bloody all-Brazilian superfight as its main

event.

The feature attraction had all the elements of a classic grudge match as both men had a point to prove and

their own personal honor to uphold. This feud started when Roberto Atalla (A BJJ black belt under Sergio

“Bolao” Souza) came to the UK and argued that BJJ is best learnt from a black belt. This infuriated Alex

De Souza, (who is part of Saulo Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu association and is currently a brown belt) who runs his

own school in the South coast of England and stated that comments like this could hurt his reputation and

his school. After months of arguments and challenges they decided to settle the score in true Brazilian style

with a Vale Tudo contest over three, ten minute! rounds.

Now this epic clash is available to own on DVD and those who missed out can see what happened on that

infamous Easter Sunday which had the entire UK MMA community buzzing for weeks. Alongside the main

event were 9 other fights, which included a BNMA woman’s kickboxing title fight, 2 Men’s Kickboxing bouts

featuring the up and coming MMA star Paul “Semtex” Daley, as well as a mix of Professional, semi-pro

and amateur MMA bouts.
