The 2012 South Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championship went down last weekend in São José, Santa Catarina, State, Brazil, and the big name to arise from the it is Pedro Mello, a black belt from team Gracie Floripa.
The Alexandre Souza student won gold in both the medium heavyweight and absolute divisions after submitting five opponents. In the open weight final, against Hugo Brito of GB Parnamirim, the Santa Catarina native kept his wits about him in defending a leg attack, after which he went on to take the back and finish the match with a choke.
