Brodinho receives stripe on belt from professor Gordinho
Leandro “Brodinho” Issa (5w, 2l) now lives in Singapore, where he teaches at Evolve/Gordo JJ Academy. The Jiu-Jitsu teacher wrote to GRACIEMAG.com from China, where he was at the November-28 Art of War 15 event.
“I fought a Korean named Choi Yeong Gwang, I started the fight with a quick takedown, but he escaped to his feet. I went for it again with a single-leg, took him down, mounted him and went for a triangle from the mount. I finished the fight in 1:27 min of the first round,” said the featherweight black belt.
Leandro thanked his corner and the special participation of his teammate Rafael dos Anjos, of the UFC.
“I’m training muay thai with Sitydtong Team and Rafael dos Anjos came to Singapore and helped me a lot. And of course I had the help of Roberto Gordo for my Jiu-Jitsu and as my cornerman,” he concluded.
The evening’s main event was between undefeated local star Hai Ling Ao (now 6w and no losses) and Japan’s Ryuki Ueyama.
