Middleweight podium at the Rio BJJ Pro, with Luan Carvalho, Alexandre Cavalieri, Ygor Rodrigues and Jaime Canuto.
In late October, some of Brazil’s top BJJ fighters took part in the Rio BJJ Pro, an IBJJF tournament featuring cash prizes. Among the winners was Luan Carvalho of Oak Jiu-Jitsu.
Competing in the tough middleweight division, Luan had to advance through his bracket and yet keep some of his stamina to face Alexandre Cavalieri (Alliance). The final was a close one, but Luan gained an advantage with a better takedown game, eventually winning on points.
Check out Luan’s win — good for 4,000 reais — in this video:
