Europeans: Featherweight Takes 3rd Place in Black Belt Ultra Heavy (Adult)

Europeans: Featherweight Takes 3rd Place in Black Belt Ultra Heavy (Adult)

 

 

A few days ago, BJJEE ran a story about how Swedish-Brazilian black belt featherweight (-70kgs)  Robson Barbosa would be competing in the Ultra Heavyweight division (+100,3 kgs) of the IBJJF Europeans.

Well, the David vs Goliath story that everybody was waiting for, happened and Robson faced the much bigger 120kgs fighter Alan Ferreira.

The match was a war and Robson won by one advantage!

In the semi final he lost to Luke Costello of Gracie Barra Birmingham.

 

 

Robson Barbosa is a black belt under Ricardo Carvalho, BJJ black belt under Carlson Gracie. Robson is one of Sweden’s best BJJ practitioners and has more or less won everything in BJJ that can be won on Swedish soil.
