Rafa beat Marcelino Freitas by choke from the back at his first fight, submitted Gustavo Falcirolli by choke from the back at his second fight and beat Bruno Malfacine by 7x0 (sweep and guard pass) to be in the finals. Im sure he will be the champion! I can bet all the prize money (8 thousand dollars) if someone wants to do it.
I believe he is the current best jiu-jitsu fighter (pound for pound of the world), his fights look really easy! Congrats brother.
I beat Theodoro Canal and Katsunori.
Thank you guys for all your messages, Im really happy for Rafael, we have been training really hard and he deserves it. (G.Mendes)

He beat ary pretty clearly, but both the other fights were close as hell and he worked his ass off for the dubious privilege of fighting rafa. @_@

For all the complaints of atos flooding, how many atos guys are in finals?

[anaconda]

woah who the hell are these guys and where did they come from? lol a bunch of guys I never heard of beating the big names!

I hope they come out with a dvd or something. Man I wish I was there.

How did you do Oli?

 

[Samurai Jack]

just wow.. some major upsets there

 

[Oliver Geddes]

Lost my first to a local black belt 7 4. Not a great performance, but I'm almost on the lower end guys level now. Just need to push a little further now.

Thanks for asking though. I think fedorzilla and nick both lost their first today.

Is there really no way to stream this !??

 

[Oliver Geddes]

Romulo looked out of sorts today. Gave up some sweeps really easy and just didn't seem on his game. Celsinho and cobrinha looked pretty much like celsinho langhi, except this time celsinho got the decision.

rafa is one of the best guys in the world

of course we would rather watch him have real matches instead of closeouts or exhibitions with his brother
