Rudson Mateus attacks and finishes in the absolute. Carlos Arthur Jr.
After a day of lots of jiu-jitsu this Saturday, the 2018 Gracie Pro had defined its adult black-belt finalists, who will be fighting today alongside the athletes competing in superfights.
In the men’s absolute division, Rudson Mateus (Caio Terra Association) had some tough matches after having secured a spot in the heavyweight final. He will be fighting Guilherme Cordiviola (GFTeam), who beat Rafael Braga in an absolute semifinal and will face Antônio Assef (GFTeam) for ultra-heavyweight gold.
