Chidi wins by knockout!

Congratulations goes out to Sergio Penha BJJ fighter Chidi Njokuani for his 52 second KO victory against Chris Kennedy at MMA Xplosion last night. Once Chris felt Chidi's power, he immediately tried to take the fight to the ground, but was unsuccessful because of Chidi's much improved sprawl. Chidi relentlessly pounded a turtled Kenndy with hammerfists until Kennedy was unconscious and referee Steve Mazzagatti was forced to stop the fight.

Fabricio Team 7-26-10

I have to apologize first of all for not updating the blog as much i told you guys i would, but life here is somewhat hectic. Yesterday was one of the hardest practices i had here, i returned to the Fabricio Team, to try out their night class (i heard it was pretty intense). There were in total 7 students, 4 black belts (one being a world and brazilian champion) 1 brown, 1 purple and 1 blue. Fabricio the head instructor is friends with my dad, and said my dad taught him alot along with Oswaldo.
The gym only allows 2 partners to train at once, and barely train b/c you need to constantly stop to return to the center. Altough i felt i was moving slower then usual, i did pretty well only tapped once to one of teh black belts, and trained pretty well with the rest, i passed the guard from all of them. Something i found interesting in the gym is that many of the students were smaller guys around 130lbs-160lbs and they all more very well making it very hard for someone like me to dominate them.

Unfortunetly i am unable to upload the pictures i have taken, Shay took the adapter of the camera with her. AND IF YOU GUYS WANT ME TO WRITE ABOUT ANYTHING IN SPECIFIC GYM OR PLACE IN BRAZIL LET ME KNOW.

SEE YOU GUYS SOON,
RAFAEL PENHA

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

Stephan wins big!
