This Sunday in Natal the colored belts saw their champions determined. The winners of the light and heavy absolute divisions earn all-expenses-paid trips to Abu Dhabi for the main event.
At purple, Rafael Pereira (Gordo JJ) won the light absolute as well as his weight division, winning a total of eight matches. In the heavy absolute, Fernando Andrade will have his way paid to the Middle East, to the joy of his coach, Thiago Rocha, of Alliance Uberlândia.
In the blue belt light absolute, Anselmo Gomes captured gold for Alliance. Max Gimenez was the big name to arise in the heavy absolute, to GFTeam master Julio Cesar’s delight.
