sorry guys, my bad, he did sub 6 guys. royler and rickson were there coaching him. royler threw a brown belt onto the mat when he subbed the last victim.

re the blach belts. awesome two days. soooo many good fights. the absolute final was insane, the place went nuts. xande denied roger the absolute championship for the forth year in a row. almost feel sorry for roger, but he is just so freakin huge, i have go for the little man. even though xande is not small by any stretch he looks it fighting roger. basically xanda evened the score by throwing roger with about 15 seconds to go. time ending with the score even but xande ahead by one advantage.

marcelo garcia won his division beating andre galvao in the final. garcia seemed not up to his usual standard but that didn`t stop him. he also subbed his first two opponents in the absolute who were both much bigger than him before being back choked by roger.

roger won his divison subbing all his opponents either from the mount or back.

xande won his division. pretty sure he subbed most if not all his opponents.

brulio estima (who runs barra london with roger) won his division.

there were so many great fights it is hard to remember it all. to cap off the night i went to help discoteca with soph, couple other girls, and jacare.

see all you ninjas soon.

Any news about other aussie fighters?

Marcelo's and Peter's guys?!

I know that Marcelo took 4 or 5 guys to Brazil and PDB send about the same number.

This year just 1 person from ROOTS went to Brazil(Paul Rowland-midle weight blue belt)) but he lost in his 1st fight unfortunatelly.

Congratulations to Sophie for her silver medal and everyone who did the trip to put it on the line over there!

This is the way to go.

Cheers,

Paulo
