Fabio Gurgel Jiu Jitsu Match vs Ricardo Liborio Rio State Championship 2000 OLD SCHOOL BJJ MATCH

Epic clash between 2 of our sports greatest competitors and coaches, Fabio Gurgel of Alliance Jiu jitsu and Ricardo Liborio of team Carlson Gracie. Fabio Gurgel is regarded as one of the top coaches in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The head instructor and leader of Team Alliance at the Sao Paulo head quarters, Fabio Gurgel was also one of the best jiu jitsu competitors of his generation with many important titles to his name, such as World Champion, Brazilian National champion and European Open champion. In 2010 Fabio Gurgel put his name on the BJJ record book when he competed and won the European Open, one of the top events in the jiu jitsu calender, at the age of 40, just a few months after he celebrated his 20th year as a jiu jitsu black belt. Known by the mixed martial arts (MMA) community as the leader of the American Top Team (ATT) academy, Ricardo Libório is also widely regarded in Brazilian jiu jitsu as one of the top black belts ever produced by Master Carlson Gracie, and an all around legend of the sport. Ricardo Liborio was the very first World Jiu Jitsu Champion in the super heavyweight division (above 100kg/221lbs) back in 1996, a division he won weighing little over 83kg (181lbs). He chose to compete at that weight for a chance to avenge his only loss on record against the much heavier Leonardo Castello Branco.
