Day 3 of the 2016 Pan saw the black belt open class for male and female.

Leandro Lo will face Bernardo Faria in the final on Sunday just like they did in last year’s final. In the female absolute,  it’s a double Alliance showdown between Dominyka Obelenyte and Andresa Correa.

What happened

The American Tim Spriggs defeated João Gabriel Rocha in the first quarterfinal by 5-2 win. Luiz Panza back from a serious injury defeated Mahamed Aly and James Puopolo, he met Leandro Lo in the quarter final and let him pass to the semi.  Lo faced Galvao and was able to win on points.

Bernardo Faria, the 2015 world champion submitted all phis opponents on his way to the semi where he choked out Tim Spriggs with an Ezekiel.
