With powerful takedowns and technical finishes, Hulk added to his No-Gi Worlds titles. IBJJF
The world’s top BJJ athletes went to Anaheim, Calif. this weekend to take part in the year’s final big jiu-jitsu event, the World Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF No-Gi Championship.
Lucas Hulk wound up standing out from his stiff competition. After climbing two weight divisions to tackle the super-heavyweight field, the Atos black-belt won gold at his new weight as well as the absolute.
At super-heavy, he submitted each of his opponents, including the runner-up João Assis (Checkmat), who fell to a north-south choke. In the open division, he met ultra-heavy runner-up João Gabriel Rocha (Soul Fighters) in the final and beat him to claim a perfect weekend.
Ana Laura Cordeiro and Jéssica Flowers dominated the women’s section, closing out both the heavyweight and open divisions for Gracie Barra.
Atos’s men took down the teams title with 100 points, followed by PSLPB Cícero Costha at 54 and Brasa CTA at 52. Gracie Barra was victorious on the women’s side at 62, followed by Alliance at 37 and Gracie Humaitá at 36.
