The second day of competition at the Abu Dhabi Grand
Slam saw the conclusion of the black belt finals. There were upsets,
submissions, and more than one referee’s decision. Here is the list of some of
the most impressive fights.
62kg division. Joao Miyao faced his teammate Hiago
George yet again in the UAEJJF Grand Slam series. Per the federation rules,
there can be no closeouts and the two must fight — which worked out great for
Joao, who simply seems to have George’s number. He was able to secure the toehold
a few minutes into the match for the finish.
69kg division. One of the most anticipated finals of
the day was between UAEJJF standout Tiago Bravo and Paulo Miyao, and it did not
disappoint. Miyao was all over Bravo early with his relentless De La Riva game
and constant Berimbolo threats.
94kg division. Adam Wardzinski’s crafty butterfly
guard game seemed to place him in the driver’s seat for a majority of the 94kg
final against Helton Silva Junior, but the Unity Jiu-Jitsu representative from
Brazil never gave up and was able to earn a last-minute advantage that tied the
score. The judges believed the Brazilian had outworked Wardzinski during
regulation and awarded him the decision.
