South American: Faria absolute


The male black belt and female brown/belt champions of the South American Jiu-Jitsu Championship 2011 were defined last Sunday, and Bernardo Faria was the great champion.

In a tense fight, the Alliance fighter won by ​​7 × 4 over Antonio Braga Neto to get the absolute black and win a ticket to Lisbon for the European contest in 2011, at the end of January.

Braga Neto started better in the fight, attacking with an omoplata and applying a sweep. Faria tied with a take-down and then passed the guard. Braga scored with a sweep, but Bernando closed the battle with another sweep.

At the end, Braga Neto lost his temper and swore at the opponent, which earned him some boos from the audience.

The other ticket to Lisbon, drawn out among the black belt and brown/black belt champions, was taken by David Helms (Atos JJ), featherweight champion.

In the brown belt, great performance by Felipe “Preguiça” Pena, a student of Draculino and Romulo Barral. The fighter had eight fights between weight and absolute, ending the fight in five of them. Last Sunday, Pena scored ​​14 x 0 in the finals to secure the second gold.

In the purple belt, highlight to João Miyao. The featherweight disallowed heavier opponents and reached the top of the podium in the open. Along with his brother Paulo, the two got three golds back to Cicero Costha academy in São Paulo, where they live.
