Felipe Pena Defeats Xande Ribeiro at Tokyo Grand Slam
The highly anticipated match between Felipe Pena and Xande Ribero at the UAEJJF Tokyo Grand Slam lived up to the hype.   Xande came out with a blistering pace, answering Felipe's guard pull with an aggressive and nearly successfully double-under pass. to back-take. Felipe  stayed calm and worked his 50/50 game to perfection, sweeping Xande two times.  Xande came close to hitting a trip, and again taking the back, but Felipe’s defense was not to be overcome.  Definitely a match worth re-watching.
