An Atos Jiu-Jitsu black-belt, Lucas “Hulk” Barbosa was the big name of the IBJJF Chicago Summer International Open, an event held August 13 and 14 in Chicago, Illinois. On Saturday, in the gi contests, hulk nabbed the medium heavyweight category as he beat Ezra Zendt Lenon (ATT) in the final, and he also got absolute gold over runner-up Carlos Eduardo Farias (Brasa). Sunday saw Hulk shine again, this time without the gi. Both in the medium heavyweight and in the open division, he won the gold as he closed them both out with his teammate Joshua Roy Hinger.
Another standout was the relentless Paulo Miyao, who won double gold in the light featherweight class at both gi and no-gi. Among featherweights, in the gi, Michael Musumeci won his first title under the banner of his new team, Caio Terra Association. Check out the complete results from the two days of competition.
