The finalists for the adult black belt open class division have been set after a day of thrills in Lisbon.

In the male open class, Romulo Barral and Felipe Pena will most probably close out the final.

Barral fought four times this Saturday and finished all his opponents with chokes.

The leader of Gracie Barra Northridge first choked Andreas Perales from the mount, then Daniel Cobb and Patrick Santos from the half guard.

In the semifinal, Rominho had a tough match against Jackson Sousa, but ended up choking the opponent from the back.

On the other side of the bracket, Pena started his run choking Josh Hinger from the back, then he did the same with Manuel Oliveira. The quartefinal match was against Alan Finfou, also choked from the back.

The semifinal against Erberth Santos was the most thrilling match of the day. Pena was able to resist a nasty armbar and then went on to get a bow and arrow choke in place with seconds left on the clock.
