Fellipe Andrew made a huge impact at this year’s European championship when he won the gold in the black belt absolute in spectacular fashion. The Zenith black belt became the first man to submit Keenan Cornelius at black belt, with a spectacular triangle.
Andrew has an incredible 70 percent submission rate in competition and his speciality are leglocks in the Gi.
Andrew now with 198 points is at first place in the IBJJF ranking system above Marcus Buchecha Almeida.
In this interview, his coach Robert Drysdale said:
“I think it’s the culmination of what everybody has been saying: this kid is going to be the best in the world. Today’s result is the beginning of this and we just have to make him believe in his potential.This kid is going to outdo Buchecha.”
Fellipe recently had a BJJ superfight with Patrick Gaudio were he had an incredible close call. He was trapped in Gaudio armbar and managed to escape and incredibly he transitioned to his trademark straight foot lock (Botinha) that got him the tap.
