Undefeated 8-time Grapplers Quest Pro Division Champion anown d Miami's FightSports head instructor, Roberto Abreu, took second place in his first ADCC. Roberto took out two time Abu Dhabi champion Jeff Monson prior to losing in the finals to Fabricio Verdun. An unbelievable accomplishment on the international stage.Congratulations to FightSports friend and training partner Pablo Popovich (9-Time Grapplers Quest CHampion) for his championship at ADCC too. After holding Jiu-Jitsu seminars in France, Cyborg made it onto the cover of French karate magazine “Bushido”.

I first met Josh Barnett at the Pan American Games in 2005. He is a confident, well spoken and knowledgeable fighter and instructor, but it was great to meet someone who had achieved so much at a young age, defeating Randy Couture to capture the title. Sadly, it was stripped for his alleged steroid usage, but everyone knows Barnett is the top contender for the Heavyweight title of any MMA organization, worldwide. I hope he signs with the UFC in 2010.
