It’s very rare to see brawls at BJJ tournaments, especially at one as prestigious as the 2018 IBJJ worlds. These 2 two white belts exchanged strikes at the podium at the Novice worlds in a surreal scene.
Both cpmpetitors, Jason Farias of Ribeiro Jiu Jitsu and Kyle Wheeler of Atos were DQ’d as a result… Let see if IBJJF and their academies will add some further punishment for this scandalous behaviour.
