Rafael Mendes Out Of ADCC 2015

Rafael Mendes has now proven that he is the best featherweight in Jiu Jitsu history winning the Worlds Black belt 5 times.
Here is what Rafael Mendes has to say

“‘ll not be competing in the ADCC 2015 || I’ve decided it in the beginning of the year and I believe it is the right time to share it – I dedicated myself 100% to the Worlds camp, putting my training schedule as a priority in my life, even had to put my family and academy as a second plan – because of that I was able to achieve my goal and became the best feather weight in Jiu Jitsu history. Starting another training camp would require the same dedication and time, my wife is pregnant of our second child, Alek is only 14 months old and is discovering the world – I decided that its my priority to stay with them as much as I can now. I’m only 26 and I’m sure that I’ll win many more ADCC titles in the future, but this time with my baby and my wife is unique and will never come back if I miss it. #familyfirst || I’ll be competing in Japan on July 04th”

Começar outro treinamento para o ADCC significa começar tudo novamente – minha mulher esta gravida do nosso segundo bebe que esta para nascer em breve e o Alek esta com um pouco mais de um ano e esta começando a entender tudo – tenho apenas 26 anos e sei que vou ter varios outros ADCCs para lutar, mas esse tempo com a minha familia, este exato momento em que estamos vivendo agora nao voltara nunca mais se eu nao estiver presente. Estarei competindo no Japao no dia 04 de julho. OSS —>
