It blows me away that no jiu jitsu/grappling website has a story on the 2008 IBJJF "No Gi Mundial". Not even a link to the results, which are available at the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation website.
2008 IBJJF No Gi Championship Results
A lot of interesting things in these results. I'm going to stick with the black belt competition with regard to my top six highlights.
1. Cobrinha and Jeff Glover taking 1st and 2nd at lightweight.
2. Saulo Ribeiro winning the medium-heavyweight division.
3. Hermes Franca coming in 2nd in the masters middleweight division
4. Local jiu jitsu instructor Brian Johnson taking 2nd in senior 1 lightweight.
5. Lloyd Irvin winning first place in the senior 1 super heavyweight division.
6. Leticia Ribeiro winning women's superfeather and Felicia Oh taking 2nd in women's feather.
