Basílio attacks in the absolute final.
Fighting at the Vitória Open, held this month in Brazil, the small and energetic Bia Basílio (Almeida JJ) put on another show of technique. After taking silver at middleweight, Bia got back up and fought for gold in the absolute division. She faced Juliana Simões (Atos), and the two had a final with lots going on. To decide the fight in her favor, Bia used her pressure in the guard pass to reach side control and score three points. From there, after she reached the back, she set up her bow-and-arrow attack to secure the win. In the following video, you can watch Bia’s tight transitions until she gets her opponent to surrender.
