Timo "Teddy" Feucht has fired the first shot against Klidson Farias de Abreu before their championship title fight in Brazil. Klidson Farias de Abreu will be fighting in front of his hometown for the inaugural Light Heavyweight championship. Feucht reminded the Brazilian fans about the grueling defeat faced by the Brazilian national football team from the hands of Germans during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Feucht has fired the first shot

On July 8, 2014, Germany faced Brazil, in the semifinal of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in a match that’s forever in the history of sports. In one of the most shocking results ever seen, the German squad squashed the Brazilian dreams to win the world cup in their home soil and beat Brazil 7-1 in front of more than 60,000 people.

Three years after the biggest tragedy in Brazilian sports history, Feucht will be facing a Brazilian fighter in a similar situation. 21-year-old Timo Feucht is undefeated in his professional MMA career and is the latest prospect signed by Bahrain's Brave Combat Federation.

Feucht recalled the 7-1 match, promising another loss at home for the Brazilians,

"I will put it this way, having the fans behind you at home is always great and motivates you. But fighting for the Brave Light Heavyweight title is all the motivation I need. On Brave 8, Brazil will repeat their habit of getting squashed when their fans need them the most. Like their national football team, the fighter do not have the potential to win. So this will be yet another loss for Brazil. The gold belongs to Leipzig".

"I want to set my goals humbly but then you get such an opportunity with Brave. My intention is to move forward step by step and keep myself grounded. I don’t want to jump into something without giving a thought and then end up going down in flames. It should be the right moment. I am young and only 21 years old. I still have everything ahead of me. I am not afraid of a loss because I have all the time in the world make it up", guarantees Feucht.
