Let us remind you of some of the great matches that have unfolded at previous Pan Ams between the top athletes in our community.

To start, we have Marcus “Bochecha” Almeida against Kron Gracie at the 2012 Pans in the black belt open weight semifinals.

From the very beginning the exchange of takedowns sets the pace that continues throughout the match with footlocks, closed guard, 50/50, back-take attempts, torrendo passes, flying triangles and more — but we don’t want to spoil it for you.

Watch it for yourself:
