Saulo and Xande Ribeiro to Compete at 2019 IBJJF Europeans

Saulo and Xande Ribeiro will both step onto the mats at the 2019 IBJJF European Championships on Saturday, January 19. 

The legendary brothers– both IBJJF Hall of Famers– are 44 and 37 years of age. Saulo will compete in the black belt master 3 heavyweight division, while Xande has entered black belt master 1 super-heavyweight. 

Together the brothers head up the Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu Association, which has brought 77 athletes to the competition. 

And to make things extra special, it is Xande's birthday on Saturday (correction – Sunday!) – meaning should he win (and he says he's going for weight and absolute) then the celebrations will be unforgettable. 

Hear what Saulo Ribeiro thinks about jiu-jitsu in Europe
