A former UFC fighter and coach to Frankie Edgar, Ricardo “Cachorrão” Almeida returned to the mats of competition this year–and did so in grand style.
The Jiu-Jitsu Professor and GMA of ours in New Jersey, USA, where he has been teaching for the last decade, took top honors in the 2012 No-Gi Pan senior 1 absolute division upon beating Fernando Zulick.
At that tournament last September in New York, Cachorrão would also win the medium heavyweight division, beating Tobias Owen. Refresh your memory of the absolute final, and see what you can learn from him.
