Clark Gracie was in fine form on the first day of action of the 2018 IBJJF No-Gi World Championships.

The omoplata master showed that he hadn't forgotten his favorite position, earning gold by submitting Barry Simms with his feared shoulder lock and using the position at will to secure the sweep and off-balance his opponents.
