The biggest rematch of all times in BJJ went bad for Buchecha and we could see that he was very disappointed after the match so after the match, the Checkmate star commented on the fight from his point of view.
“I got it wrong and I payed the price”
“Roger did not allow me to play my game and there was no injuries to blame. Roger made good grips when he pulled guard. I made a mistake against a guy you can’t make mistakes against”
We bring you intense match between two BJJ legends. Rafael Lovato and Roberto Cyborg Abreu.
The match happened on Fight To win Pro 7 event and was a no gi 10 minutes title match.
Lovato jr. kept up offense throughout the match, pushing forward on the feet and actively working from bottom when he pulled the guard
Cyborg did a nice single leg early on, but Lovato Jr neutralized it with a kimura attack. From there, Cyborg seemed hesitant to attack for the legs, leaving Lovato to choose when to pull guard.
From bottom, Lovato did a great omoplata try where Cybrog had to stand up to rip it off.
The three judges unanimously scored it to Lovato Jr. after the 10-minute round was over.
With such an impressive physique Jason Momoa was perfect Khal Drogo in Game Of Thrones and I believe we were all sad when he left the series leaving his lovely wife Emilia Clark aka Daenerys Targaryen alone.
Maybe we were also sad because of some scenes that they had together but we will leave that for another subject 🙂
All of us who miss Jason Momoa’s character from Game Of Thrnoes can be happy because he will soon be seen in another movie called “Aquaman”.
Here is the picture of Jason with arms wide spread wearing a white belt together with all other novices.

After punch and a kick this guy that obviously have some BJJ training pulled guard on security guard. It’s a pretty weird situation to see in a street fight but he managed to sweep him immediately and get to full mount.
We can’t say if security guard was provoking fight, knowing his buddies will help him, because he was obviously doing something before the fight started but we can’t say what.
But, as stupid as it is to attack the security guard BJJ practitioner got what he deserved.

Last MMA fight Renzo had back in 2010 against Matt Hughes where he lost via TKO. He did that fight after three years of pause.
At that time the 43 years old Renzo Gracie was asked afterward if he should have fought an easier opponent than Hughes in his comeback match. But he dismissed that thought, saying, “What kind of fighter would I be if I did that?”.
Now, At the age of 50, dry, at about 80 kilos, Renzo said he awaits a replacement for Matt Hughes (still in a delicate state of health) for the Superfight at the ADCC in Finland in September. In an interview with Fox Sports He said:
“I’ll be back soon. MMA, Of course. Scott Coker made me an offer, One FC too, but I still have a contract with the UFC. I can not divulge either where or with whom, even because I do not know, but after ADCC I will return to MMA.
How smart this desicion is for Renzo we can’t tell but what we can tell is that he really have a heart of a Lion and he’s the real warrior.
