Third Rua brother to make MMA debut soon

According to Brazilian magazine TATAME, Marcos will be the third Rua brother to turn to MMA when he makes his debut early 2009.

"He's well, training tough and much focused," Mauricio told TATAME. "He would fight at The Glory, that would happen at January but [the event] was delayed to March, but we want to see him fighting before."

Marcos trains at Universidade de Luta in Curitiba, Brazil, a gym founded by Mauricio and Murilo.

Marcos is the youngest, but the biggest of the three. He will fight as a heavyweight.
