Berkut Grandprix Results 2017

Berkut Grandprix Results 2017

 

 

The latest edition of the ACBJJ Grandprix just concluded. The event formerly known as Berkut took place in Warsaw, Poland.

Many of the elite fighters of the world vied for exciting prizes.

The prestigious standing of the event meant the brackets were stacked and the matches were quite close.

Particularly exciting to watch were Felipe Pena, Adam Wardzinski and Luiz Panza.

Erberth Santos seems to be in a bit of a slump.

 

After toughing out a leglock in the semi finals against Bilarov he went up against Felipe Pena in the finals. His injury was a bit apparent as he was limping. Pena managed to score a sub finish in round too via standing bow and arrow choke.

Wardzinski managed to outscore Vinny Magalhaes but they were pretty even upto round 3 which Wardzinski won 5 to 0.
