You may know Atos black belt Keenan Cornelius as a
long and flexible guard player who is always tying his opponents' lapels into
knots, but this past weekend in Chicago showed off a different aspect of his
ever-evolving game.
It was Cornelius' passing and top position that led to
submissions in the videos below from the IBJJF Chicago Open. In the absolute
finals, he faced GF Team black belt and super heavy gold medalist Gutemberg
Pereira. After sweeping to the top position, Keenan went to work relentlessly
until a mounted triangle brought the tap.
In the heavyweight division final against John Gutta,
Keenan latched onto a brutal cross choke from knee-on-belly -- a la Rafael
Lovato Jr. -- and refused to give up on the choke, eventually tapping Gutta and
earning his eighth gold medal since his return from injury at American
Nationals in July.
