Ricardo Evangelista took gold in the ultra-heavyweight division.
This sunny Sunday, Rio de Janeiro welcomed another group of athletes from all over Brazil for day 2 of the Brazilian National Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship, featuring the adults’ contests.
Ricardo Evangelista, Fernando Reis, Hiago George, José Tiago, as well as Thiago Abreu — who finished UFC athlete Rani Yahya in a fiercely competitive lightweight division, — went home with gold medals.
In addition, our new absolute champions emerged: Kitner Moura (Alliance) got there by beating Anderson Silva’s namesake from Gracie Barra, and Carina Santi (G13) defeated Juliana Simões (Checkmat).
