This week on the show Maine and Rob recap the ADCC Brazilian Trials for ADCC 2022, Fight to Win 193, and Toro Cup 19.  Plus Discuss the upcoming second ADCC South American Trials.

We jump right into the recap section with ADCC trials breaking down the first South American Trials for 2022.  We recapped the finals for each division starting with the -66kg division with Diego “Pato” Olivera Vs Diego Reis we discussed the passing and control of Pato early and the odd takedown body lock abandon game Reis was playing late leading up to the close decision. 

In -77kg finals we saw Mica Galvao Vs Magid Hage both of whom were 5 for 5 on subs for the day.  We discussed Magid apparel and old school t-shirt and shorts with pockets.  As well as broke down the shot and counters from Mica that went from guillotine to triangle and sub after 30 seconds of adjustments.  Going 6 for 6 on subs. 

In -88 kg final we recapped Isaque Bahanese Vs Claudio Calasans we discussed how baller it was that a former absolute champ and ADCC medalist was entering trials again and not relying on an invite we talked about Isaque just moving everywhere on the feet and going up and down fast picking at the head then touching the feet, and the finishing scoring sequence. 

In the -99 kg finals we talked about Joao Costa Vs Jose Henrique Cardoso. We discussed the amount of stand up wrestling, plus the fighters hitting the computer, and Joao costa gets the win in a close decision after extra time.

In the +99 kg final we talked about Rosevelt Sousa Vs Pedro Pimenta that was over in a little over 2 minutes. We talked about the guard shuffle to Sousa grabbing the front leg and threading through to go to backside 50/50 then to 50/50 then throwing his leg over over cross body after the counter roll to the heel hook, then the slide of his opposing leg under the top of Pedro’s thigh that let him pulls Pedro forward so he had to stand out of it, followed by the pull back into a calf slicer in the wildest finish of the weekend. 

In the Women's -60 kg finals we discussed  Jinana Sais Vs Dianna Torquato where we saw Dianna win via points with tons of top pressure and top positional points and then almost a finish at the end with the choke where time ran out.  

In our recap of F2W 193 we discussed Victor Hugo Vs Igor Schnider that saw Hugo use his flexibility and guard work to get to the legs and attack Igor for the clean decision. 

In Giocarlo Bordoni Vs Felipe Costa we saw the new leg lock developments to Bordoni game and control throughout the match eventually hitting an inversion to almost kiss of the dragon/ inverted x guard between the legs that almost went to a to backside side kneebar but that Bordoni flared the knee on to get the backside heel hook while using his top leg to push away the non trapped leg of Costa for the finish. 

In Tracy Godell Vs Patricia Machado we saw Tracy stay on the attack and finish a great bow and arrow choke from the back. 

In Robert Degal Vs Angel Cruz we see the leg lock entries that have made Degal famous letting him take a clean decision over Cruz. 

In the recap of Toro 19 we recap an amazing match between Deandre Cobre and Gabriel Sousa that saw a back take and almost points for Cobre in the finals in overtime that was defended by Sousa followed by an amazing back take and points sequence to win the title for Sousa. 

In the previews we discuss Boa Super 8 being this week, as well as F2W 194 and the second ADCC South American trials, plus IBJJF euros in 2 weeks.
