Victor Hugo flaunts his two gold medals.
As well as the thrills of the black belt finals, the last day of the 2019 Pan IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship (this Sunday) featured some top-notch action in the rank of future members of the BJJ elite.
The brown belt’s favorites, Victor Hugo (Ribeiro) and Gabrieli Pessanha (Infight), confirmed their status and earned a combined four gold medals.
To Victor, the double victory began in the ultra-heavyweight division, where he beat Matthew Brian, Cesar Agreda and finally José Mateus Luna. His absolute campaign ended with a win over Bruno Lima (AMA Jiu-Jitsu Team), the medium heavyweight champion.
Gabi achieved her double gold by convincingly beating Kendall Reusing (Gracie Barra) and Vedha Toscano (Checkmat). Other noteworthy campaigns were had by Thalison Vitorino, who closed out his division with Johnif Rocha for team Cícero Costha; the winning Atos duo of Johnata Alves and Ronaldo Junior; and Julia Buscher, a Soul Fighters representative who came out on top in the women’s middleweight division.
