The finalists vying for the gold medal and prize money of the Abu Dhabi World Pro in have all been defined for all weight classes.
The Female under-63 kg division is a repeat of the final of the Brazilian qualifiers in Gramado, a match that caused heated debate. Luanna Alzuguir will face Beatriz Mesquita. In Gramado, with shortened match duration, Bia won. Now the much-awaited showdown will take place.
In the over-63 kg division, Gabrielle Garcia was up to the tough task of facing Lana Stefanac, and is through to the decider, where she will face Luzia Fernandes.
And the men’s action carries on at a click, too. The absolute purple-to-black-belts category is underway in the UAE and Rafael Mendes started out tapping out Finland’s Janne Pietilainen via armbar. There are 75 athletes in the race to the 20,000 dollar prize money. On one end of the bracket, there are such beasts as Demente, Pé de Chumbo, Vella, Frazatto, Bráulio, Guto, Marko Helen and Ceconi. At the other, Andre Galvão, Alexandre Souza, Durinho, Edmilson Conceicao, Rafa Mendes, Bochecha, Barral, Big Mac and Calasans. There’s nowhere to run!
With his gaze fixed on the matches, Sheikh Mohamad graced the gymnasium with his presence, on the second day of the tournament. With a bad knee, Rodolfo Vieira watches from the sidelines and offers his wager: “Demente takes the Absolute.” By his side, Durinho gives his: “Calsans wins it!”
I'm 255 and I'm pretty sure I couldn't beat that rather large lady in white.
Killary got stopped by RNC. Woman's name is Mesquita.
Williams will come back stronger.
so when money is on the line will we see teammates go at it????
Tough luck Hill.
I have the utmost faith that some day, you will be the finest female BJJ practicioner in the world in your weight class!
No shame in losing.
Enjoy the rest of your trip. it's not every day we get to go to Abu Dhabi.
Beatriz Mesquita (Gracie Humaita) first match was a very tough fight with Canada's Sheila Bird winning by one sweep (2-0).
I did not see her second match but her third was against Hillary Williams and she dominated the match being up 13-0 before tapping her out in under 4 minutes.
She is very good.
Hillary is a new brown belt. She has tons of time to improve, and she will.

Hillary as the new frate trane
I'm one of her sponsors genius. :-)
I'm pretty sure it's at least the second time he's been told that you're one of her sponsors. Someone just doesn't read/listen.
Anyway, best of luck to Hillary in the future.
The 280 pound chick is in the finals? Shocker.
They put a cap on the division in the UFC, and in the NCAA's, they should put a cap on that pro division as well. I'd love to see her with the discipline to drop to 265 lol.
If somebody can help me out. I can only seem to link url's when I use IE. But I'm using Firefox and chrome and can't figure it out. doh
it isn't adcc, it is the world pro gi.
different sheikh, different organisation, same country.
Seems everyone else knew what we were talking about ;-)
I like your sister J-wow, J-sho .
