Roger Gracie is two-time champion

Check out the black belt results


Roger Gracie's the big name at the World Championship 2009. With his win over Romulo Barral with a choke from the mount in the absolute black belt final, he wrote his name into the hall of two-time winners of Jiu-Jitsu's most prestigious category along with Amaury Bitetti (96 and 97), Rodrigo Comprido (99 and 2000), Márcio Pé de Pano (2002 and 2003), Ronaldo Jacaré (2004 and 2005) and Xande Ribeiro (2006 and 2008).

Curiously, Roger's previous conquest was against the very Barral, in 2007.

Check out the names of the champions and stay tuned. Throughout the week GRACIEMAG.com will bring you more information about the world's greatest Jiu-Jitsu  fest.
