Coming from two victories, Murilo ‘Ninja’ Rua went to EliteXC to fight Benji Radach focused on a new victory to get his chance to fight for the belt. But Radach postponed this with a TKO victory on the second round. “I was a tough fight, but I had trained a lot of Jiu-Jitsu Boxing and weight reduction, I was really well”, said the fighter, that believes he did one mistake on the second round, that gave him the loss.

“I was well, going after him on the second round, but unfortunately I missed one step and get hit on the chin. I had hit him hard on the beginning, but he recovered well, and I think it was a good fight, I got out of there applauded from the crowd”, commented Ninja, that believes he’ll come back to fights only in 2009. “I’m waiting, but I think I’ll fight again next year. I hope I have a chance against Radach again and then fight (Robbie) Lawler”, finished the athlete.
