Brazilian brothers who shine on Japanese mats Marcos Souza and Roberto Satoshi won again in the Land of the Rising Sun. Better still, thanks to their latest triumph they’re guaranteed action at the European Open this January 27 in Lisbon, Portugal.
“My brother and I competed at a No-Gi event promoted by Deep last week. Roberto won the under-77kg division and I won the one above that,” says Marcos, who is the current champion of Asia.
“Thanks to the result, we won the cash prize and we’re going to Portugal to compete at the European Open! My brother will enter as a lightweight brown belt, the division in which he is world champion. I’m lighter now, so I’ll go in as a middleweight black belt. I’m going to cause some commotion over there too!” says the beast from Bonsai academy in closing.
