After a long while without setting foot on a mat, Zé Mario Sperry rekindled his love for Jiu-Jitsu. The Carlson Gracie black belt has been training and teaching techniques a-plenty in Rio de Janeiro and other nooks of the world.
At the behest of onetime UFC champion Rashad Evans, Zé Mario made the trip to Florida to help the light heavyweight get ready for his UFC 145 showdown with current champ Jon Jones on the 21st of April in Atlanta, Georgia.
Watch the exclusive position the Brazilian taught in Rio prior to pushing off for the Blackzilians’ Florida training camp. Watch out for this choke, Jon Jones.
