Cobrinha full steam towards third

Alliance star will try out the absolute


Big guys beware, a dangerous little guy will be spitting his venom among the heavies of the absolute black belt category. Going after his third world title in a row at featherweight, Rubens Charles will also fight in the open: "Since it comes before the weight groups, I think I'll go in to practice at absolute," said Cobrinha to GRACIEMAG.com from the stands in the Long Beach pyramid.



"I did everything I needed to do. I'm going to fight as though it were my first championship. I'm really well prepared," guaranteed the Allliance star.

Champion last year without suffering a single advantage point, Cobrinha doesn't the featherweight division gets its fair shake: "You can't overlook anyone who's signed up. All of them are great athletes and sometimes you look at the most well-known and they don't end up making it to the end," he analyzed.

Gracie Magazine 135 cover, as an example of motivation, Cobrinha was excited to hear how every competitor in the World Championship received a copy of the magazine: "This photo was really cool, eh?" smiled the two-time world champion who is also two-time pan-american champion and no-gi world champion, who later posed for the photo along with the issue.
