Nalati. IBJJF
Held last weekend in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, the IBJJF’s BH Open brought some of the country’s top players to the famous Mineirinho stadium.
Otávio Nalati (Lloyd Irvin) bagged double gold with wins in the ultra-heavy and absolute divisions. Tayane Porfírio unfortunately had no opponents in either the super-heavy or the women’s open division, and so she got double gold as well.
To Nalati, glory came as he defeated local fighter Cássio Francis (Gracie Barra) at ultra-heavy and then faced Sérvio Tulio (Gracie Barra), who had won the medium heavyweight title, in the absolute final. Nalati used pressure from the top to secure the top spot.
In the masters’ age group, Alberto Ramos, of GFTeam Cachambi, won four titles across gi and no-gi contests. Read on for the weekend’s results.
