Grand Slam Los Angeles is very exciting. Just now we had the opportunity to observe The Miyao Brothers going up against each other in the Finals of the upto 67 kilogram category.
One of the least thankless matches to comment depicted Miyao going up against Miyao. Paulo Miyao wore the red band around his foot. This was one of the rare distinctive differences between the two as they both have the same sponsor – Shoyoroll.
Joao was quick to pull guard but Paulo wasn’t hesitating to engage and attempt a knee slice pass.
Paulo was quite dedicated to passing and came close to receiving points for knee on belly within the first two minutes but no dice!
The match went unscored until the very last seconds.. No points, advantages or penalties.
In the last 15 seconds or so Joao Miyao secured a back take for the final score of 4:0.
?ALL IN GANG? || -SELVA -SELVA, O QUE? -SELVA BRASIL P****!!!
