At Fight Sports Miami, GMA member Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu keeps a strong academy. The world champion black belt competes at the highest level and earns gold medals at the most prestigious events but true recognition for his efforts came on Saturday, August 24, when he received his third degree from Master Francisco Toco Albuquerque.
Cyborg received his black belt in 2004 after five years of training and has since taken the black belt divisions by storm. His next endeavor is the 2013 ADCC on October 19-20 in Beijing, China.
His response to the promotion:
“I’m honored to have received today from the hands of my Master Francisco Toco Albuquerque my 3rd degree black belt! It really represents the world to me. It’s like a flash passing through my eyes all of the years of dedication and love for Jiu-Jitsu! I’ve really built a beautiful story through all of this years and there are lots more to come! I would like to thank my family, students, friends and fans for making this journey with me. God gave me a gift, live from my love! Certain things in life are priceless.”
