Dimitrius with his gold medals.
Beautiful Florianópolis, Brazil welcomed another edition of the Floripa Spring International Open this weekend. Dimitrius Souza was the big name this time around, capturing both the men’s heavyweight and absolute divisions.
The former saw him defeat Henrique Lima (Checkmat) in the final. In the absolute, the Alliance black-belt took on medium heavy champion José Cardoso (Ceconi Team) and secured the title with a triangle that you can see play out below.
Also standing out were Otávio Nalati (gold at ultra-heavy and bronze in the absolute) and Hugo Marques (gold at middleweight).
