At this year’s edition of the IBJJF’s World Master Championship, BH Rhinos leader Cristiano “Titi” Lazzarini had a long and arduous path to the top of the podium. With 40 athletes enrolled in the heavyweight division of the master 3 age group, the black-belt under Vinícius Draculino was forced to fight a total of six opponents.
Titi defeated each one of them, which earned him a gold medal. In the process, the teacher used some of his best trumps, one of them being stability coupled with a lethal attack from the mount.
In the video below, Titi fights to be able to stabilize the top position in order to score four points, later using a precise armbar to wrap up the match.
