The king of the Eddie Bravo Invitational’s 145lbs division (featherweight) returned to maintain his crown in decisive fashion, by submitting all opponents with assertive dominance.
The Renzo Gracie Academy representative, and famous pupil of John Danaher showed a more varied game from what he had accustomed us in the past, looking for the back to finish 2 of his adversaries, submitting the other 2 with his trademark heel hook, earning $20,000 in the process winning the featherweight title.
