No-Gi Pans: A Brief Review

Major Story: Keenan Falls in weight category, comes back to storm the absolute.

"I felt comfortable with the new things in training and I feel I could have won with them if I had performed them correctly, but I didn't. It was a good experience and I'm glad I did it here so I can see where I'm going to run into problems against people who use that strategy at ADCC." - Keenan Cornelius

F2W 125: Rudson Secures 1-Minute Armbar On Gutemberg; Quexinho's Omoplata Reigns Supreme

This is one of the nastiest finishes we've seen in recent memory. Gutemberg played a dangerous game when he chose to attack Rudson from the 50/50 position, and the CTA Brasa student made him pay for it by securing his famous 50/50 armbar.

The co-main event featured Omoplata wizard Osvaldo 'Quexinho' Moizinho taking on upstart Richar Nogueira, and it was all one-way traffic. Quexinho had Noeugira in omoplata sequence early and finished the match with four minutes remaining on the clock.
