Jiu Jitsu VS Luta Livre ADCC Brazil 2000 Qualifier | Flavio Almeida vs Roberto Leitão 🙏🙏PLEASE BE KIND & SUBSCRIBE to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/riccardoammendoliabjj Flávio Almeida, commonly known as “Cachorrinho” is a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt under Carlos Gracie Junior, founder of the Gracie Barra Academy a team which Almeida has represented throughout his career. During the late 1990’s Flávio Almeida was widely regarded as one of the top athletes in the sport, though a premature retirement to pursue an academic career took him off the mats for many years. In 2006 Almeida returned to grappling after a successful run in the business world. His return was founded on him opening his own Gracie Barra franchise in the United States. Fábio Almeida is also the younger brother of UFC veteran Ricardo Almeida. Son of Mestre Leitão, one of the greatest martial arts connoisseurs in the country, Roberto Leitão usually says that even before he was born he was already destined to be an Olympic athlete. The first contact with the sport was in judo, but it was in the Olympic fight that Roberto found himself. By winning a medal at the 1987 Pan American Games, in Indianapolis, Roberto fulfilled his father's and his own dream of being an Olympic athlete, a feat he would achieve again in Barcelona 1992, becoming the first Brazilian to represent Olympic wrestling twice in the Olympic Games. Then, Roberto became a trainer, being in the corners of Antoine Jaoude in 2004 and Rosângela Conceição in 2008. He is currently the Superintendent of the Brazilian Wrestling Confederation, the highest entity of the sport in the country. #flavioalmeida #robertoleitao #jiujitsu #lutalivre #adccbrazil #oldschoolbjj
