One of the most
underrated athletes in the Brazilian circuit today is rising ultra-heavyweight
brown belt Eduardo Lopes of Guigo Jiu-Jitsu, commonly known as Duzao, who is
also a proficient judo black belt and active judoka in São Paulo’s competition
circuit.
The former blue belt
IBJJF World Champion (2016 weight and absolute) and purple belt World bronze
medalist (2017 weight and absolute) is aiming for the stars this year at brown
belt, having signed on to the Brazilian National last weekend with the intent
of gaining mat miles ahead of the big show, which happens later this month. 7
matches later Duzao came out with double gold, winning both his weight and the
absolute finals by submission.
Solid takedowns (Duzao
scored the important 2 on every match in his weight class) and having also
added an appetite for the submission as of late, Lopes is a clear threat to the
gold medal at the Worlds, so expect him to bring in the heat at the Walter
Pyramid.
