Hinger in the semi. Barbosa had beaten Lovato's teammate James Puopolo on the

Lovato cruised through the super heavyweight division,
and reflected on the fact this is his first gi competition since 2016.
"It was a little match by match," he said.
"Then I kind of got my rhythm and I was able to submit three guys in a row."

announced he will return to the cage on December 1 for an MMA bout.
