Its has already been a busy summer for Gracie Barra Texas. On May 23, “Sapo” fought a tough fight against a game opponent in Uriah Hall. The Las Vegas crowd was anxious to see how the two warriors handled themselves in the Octagon after all of the pre-fight talk and hype! In the end, the Draculino Black Belt fought his way to a tough decision win and added another win to his record! Congratulations to Rafael “Sapo” Natal on another great victory from all of us here at Gracie Barra Texas!
Juliana Lima, another Draculino fighter, pulled out a great decision victory in her home country of Brazil at UFC FN 67. On May 30, fight fans of Goiania, Brazil got to witness first-hand another great fight by a tough fighter in Juliana. After 3 tough rounds against a tough opponent in Ericka Almeida, the judges found that Juliana took control of the fight and they awarded her a well deserved win!
Congratulations, Juliana, from all of us here at Gracie Barra Texas!
Gracie Barra put on another great showing at the 2015 IBJJF Worlds Competition held in Long Beach, CA! The Red Shield brought home two 1st place trophies (Juvenile and Novice divisions) and had great showings from all of our competitors!
One of our Gracie Barra Texas students, Andy Cordova, took 3rd place in a field of over 120 tough competitors!
Congratulations to all the GB competitors who went out and fought hard to represent our team!
