2018 Worlds: Kennedy, Fechter, Pessanha, Thalison and more from day 2

Gabi Pessanha is the only female athlete to win the double Grand Slam this season. IBJJF

Day two of the IBJJF World Championship went down this Friday in Long Beach, with more colored-belt contests.

Purple- and brown-belts shared the mats of the Walter Pyramid, and another batch of world champions was crowned. The men’s brown belt section only had its rooster, feather and light feather divisions play out yesterday, with Kennedy Maciel (Alliance) standing out. The son of Rubens “Cobrinha” Charles, Kennedy won gold in his new rank by making his way through the light featherweight field and beating Malachi Edmond (Lloyd Irvin) in the final.

The women’s brown belt section, however, played out entirely on Friday, with no one shining more brightly than Gabriela Fechter. The Checkmatter managed to bag absolute gold after taking bronze at featherweight. In the open final, Gabi beat Larissa Carvalho (Gracie Reunion), the light featherweight champion.

Besides the success of double gold winner Roberto Jimenez (Alliance), we had Gabrieli Pessanha wrapping up a phenomenal season. The Infight member won double gold, just like she did in the rest of the Grand Slam this season — so that’s double gold at the Worlds, Euros, Pan and Brazilian Nationals.

Thalison Soares of PSLPB Cícero Costha also claimed a Grand Slam. He closed out his division with Francisco Andrade in his second year as a purple-belt and got promoted on the spot.
