Last weekend the Jiu-Jitsu crew donned their gis and headed to Montreal, Canada. Why? To secure a paid trip to the World Pro main event this coming April in Abu Dhabi.
Among the standouts of the brown/black belt division at the Fabio Holanda-organized event were Marcio Corleta (Winner-Behring) secured the over-92 kg spot; Josh Griffiths (Clockwork JJ) took first in the under-92 kg division; Jimmy Harbison (Lloyd Irvin) took top spot on the podium in the under-83 kg division; Bruno Amaral (BTT) was the best at under-74 kg; and Ryan Hall (50/50 Brasa) reigned in the under-65 kg.
Among the ladies, in the purple/brown/black belt division, Gracie Humaitá provided the standouts, with Luciana Dias winning the heavier division and purple belt Mackenzie Dern taking it in the lighter division.
