At the 2011 Jiu-Jitsu World Championship the fairer sex put on a show of their own. Gabi Garcia won at weight and open weight; Talita Treta conquered her first world title, while still a brown belt; Hannette Staack notched her seventh World Championship win with a spectacular flying armbar; Luanna Alzuguir kept up her winning run; Michelle Nicolini waged a true war with Kyra Gracie in becoming champion; and Letícia Ribeiro made it to the top of the podium for her fifth time.
However, The Worlds also served up a heap of excitement in the other female division belt groups, underscored by MMA star Cris Cyborg’s conquest of the middleweight purple belt division and Dominyka Obelenyte (purple) and Nicole Whissel (blue) winning their respective absolutes, not to mention the performance of Mackenzie Dern, who hasn’t lost since the 2007 Worlds.
