Next week was about to be as hectic as imaginable for Reese Shaner who was scheduled to fight twice in the matter of six days. But due to some smalltime event called the World Cup, Shaner’s fight with Fabio Maldonado has been postponed.

In anticipation of his pay-per-view debut at Shine Fights 3 this Saturday in Fayetteville, North Carolina, I was granted the honor an exclusive interview with Brazil's Alexandre "Cacareco" Ferreira (18-6). "Cacareco" rides into his fight with former IFL stand-out Jamal Patterson (5-2) on a 7-fight win streak and 17 of his 18 career victories were earned via submission.
