Dale returns to the mats in style. Instagram.
Australia’s Kit Dale was the big winner of the Sydney Open, held last weekend in Australia. Dale, who had been away from competitions due to a knee surgery, came back with a vengeance and won everything there was to win, meaning the medium heavyweight and open divisions in both the gi and no-gi sections of the event. Most notable was his absolute gi final win over UFC fighter Yan Cabral.
