The latest IBJJF open tournament, held in Las Vegas, was all the more striking because it marked the return of two black belt lightweight standouts to gi-clad combat.

Augusto Tanquinho made his comeback after surgery, adding another title to his mantel. Now two-time world champion Fredson Paixão, a former WEC and UFC fighter, donned his gi again and nabbed a bronze medal.

Check out the two aces of the gi in their respective semifinals against the equally stalwart Steven Rosenberg and Philipe “Furão” Della Monica.
