Augusto “Tanquinho” Mendes forges ahead in his preparations for the 2011 Worlds, and as expected he ventured into Long Island Pride 2011 in Danbury. Tanque had a supermatch against Ronaldo Campos (Barbosa JJ) and didn’t piddle around.
“Thank God! I won my superfight at Pride XII in Danbury. I got the tapout in two minutes! Thanks to Renato Tavares and everyone at ATT Vero beach for the training these days! The seminar yesterday at ATT was great and thanks to everyone for going,” tweeted the Soul Fighters ace, who is preparing for the Worlds with Rafael Formiga and Rodolfo Vieira in Connecticut.
