Our athletes acheived great results in this evening's MMA event. We have no words that can describe how proud we are of the imapacable performance that all of our 3 students had during their fights.
Our first win for the night was done by Iyvin, winning with an outstanding rear naked chock in the first 20sec of the first round.
Secondly Mark did and great fight winning his fight with autonomous decision and hance the majority of the pionts were awarded to him.
Last but not least Aleandro gave an excellent performance against his opponent however his fight was stopped during the last seconds of the second round by the referee. Aleandro was still strong and performing perfectly when the referee desided to stop the match.
A huge well done goes to Ivyin Abdilla, Mark Bugeja, Aleandro Manicaro
Stay tuned for more!! You will surely see our fighters fight again in the near future.
Well done to our students for new acheivements in traditional Jiu-Jitsu.
