IBJJF Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championships: Congrats Kingz Athletes

Last week was the 2022 IBJJF Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championships! Fully rebounded from the past two years of pandemic restrictions, this year’s edition featured more than 4,600 competitors. That made for an event jam-packed with incredible matches! womens gi pants

We wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate all our Kingz athletes on their performances last week. Win or lose, you stepped out there on the competition mat and made us proud!

However, there were some standout performances that we wanted to highlight:

Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu

Living up to his nickname, Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu is a machine! At nearly 42 years old, Cyborg is showing the jiu-jitsu world that age is just a number and means nothing to him.

After three hard fought battles in the Ultra-Heavy weight division, Cyborg faced Gutemberg Perreira in the finals. The match featured some incredible scrambles, with Cyborg playing his distinctive heavy pressure passing game. Gutemberg was penalized with two points for attempting to flee the mat, which Cyborg capitalized on, smartly preventing the younger fighter from being able to recover the rest of the match.

Tainan Dalpra

Tainan Dalpra has done it again! The AOJ black belt has added another gold medal win to his collection, making him a two-time IBJJF Pans champion!

With less than two years at black belt, Tainan is proving himself to be a force to be reckoned with. Tainan dominated arguably one of the toughest divisions: Middle weight. His first match against Roberto Jimenez was expected to be an exciting one… and it did not disappoint. Tainan’s technical prowess had him hunting submissions, passes and back takes, then ultimately led him to catch Roberto in a beautiful triangle finish. Tainan then finished Eduardo Avelar with a choke from the back, and secured two points against Ronaldo Junior in the semi-finals. Finally, his aggressive passing game payed off against tough guard player Jeferson Guaresi in the finals.

And we must mention: with his latest Europeans win, Tainan is well on his way toward a Grand Slam!  

Erich Munis 

There is just no stopping Erich Munis!

With two perfect armbar finishes in the Super-Heavy division – against Wilson Almeida and Vinicius Trator – Erich closed out with teammate Marcus Vinicius Ribeiro. The Dream Art black belt then battled it out in the Open Class, with three tough matches before he found himself in the finals against veteran legend Fellipe Andrew. A sweep in the first minute secured Erich two easy points, and after nearly nine minutes of Fellipe visibly struggling to pass Erich’s guard, the younger fighter scored another sweep in the last minute of the finals to win the title.

Melissa Stricker Cueto 

Melissa Stricker Cueto is proving herself a fierce competitor this 2022 season!

Having long distinguished herself in the South American and Brazilian tournaments, Melissa is making a name for herself on the international scene. After a hard-fought battle against Larissa Almeida, Melissa secured the win to face Fight Sports’ Maggie Gindatti in the finals. A beautiful cross-choke submission secured Cueto her first Pans gold medal at black belt! 

With Pans typically seen as a warmup for Worlds… it’s looking like Melissa may follow her 2021 World Championship win with another!

Corinthians avalia a situação de quinteto cedido a times da Série A; veja lista e a situação de cada um

João Victor, Janderson, Marquinhos, Jesus e Fessin estão emprestados e seguem sendo avaliados O Corinthians segue avaliando e ainda não externou suas intenções em relação aos cinco jogadores que estão cedidos a outros clubes da Série A do Brasileirão até o fim de fevereiro. Marquinhos, no Sport, Fessin, no Bahia, Matheus Jesus, do Bragantino, e a dupla Janderson e João Victor, no Atlético-GO, são os jogadores cedidos para clubes da Primeira Divisão no ano passado. A cessão do volante Richard para o Athletico-PR, é bom lembrar, acaba apenas no final de 2021. Caso a caso Dois deles trabalharam com o técnico Vagner Mancini no Dragão: João Victor e Janderson. Titulares da equipe goiana, ambos estão valorizados e possuem sondagens do mercado interno. O zagueiro de 22 anos tem contrato com o Corinthians até a metade de 2022 e é bem avaliado. O problema é o excesso de jogadores da posição: Gil, Jemerson, Bruno Méndez, Marllon, Raul, além de Léo Santos e Danilo Avelar, um já curado de lesão no joelho e outro em fase de recuperação. Caso seja cedido por um ano a alguma outra equipe, João Victor possivelmente acertará uma renovação contratual antes para não ter a chance de assinar um pré-contrato em dezembro. Ele tem 29 jogos pelo Dragão, sendo 23 no Nacional. Mais notícias do Corinthians + Cazares e Otero vão renovar? + Emprestados a times da Série B voltam João Victor, zagueiro do Atlético-GO Heber Gomes/ACG Janderson, de 21, tem 33 jogos pelo clube goiano, com três gols marcados e cinco assistências. Na vitória do Atlético-GO por 2 a 1 contra o São Paulo, ele construiu a jogada do gol da vitória. O contrato do atacante com o Timão é até o fim de 2022. A avaliação de Tiago Nunes em 2020 foi que o jogador tinha deficiências técnicas. Com Mancini, em Goiânia, o jogador cresceu. Ele se manteve em destaque mesmo com a troca no comando técnico. Janderson – atacante do Atlético-GO Heber Gomes / Atlético-GO Em fase de amadurecimento no Sport, Marquinhos, de 24 anos, campeão da Copa São Paulo de 2017, tem 44 jogos e sete gols na temporada. São 28 partidas no Brasileirão, sendo 25 como titular. O time luta pela permanência na Série A. O contrato com o Corinthians foi renovado antes do empréstimo ao Leão. O vínculo acaba no fim de 2022. Ele tem como meta principal o retorno ao Timão, mas também sonha em jogar fora do Brasil. Marquinhos em treino pelo Sport Anderson Stevens / Sport Club do Recife + Veja mais notícias do Corinthians O meia Fessin, de 22 anos, está cedido ao Bahia. São 24 jogos entre 2020 e 2021, com três gols. Ele teve um bom início de Brasileirão com Mano Menezes, num momento em que o Tricolor manifestou o interesse em exercer sua compra. Com a queda coletiva do time, que ainda hoje luta pela permanência na Série A do Brasileirão, a decisão foi adiada para o término da competição. O contrato com o Timão é até dezembro de 2022 e, até o momento, o seu futuro é uma incógnita. Fessin retornou às atividades Felipe Oliveira / EC Bahia Um dos casos mais complexos para a diretoria é o de Matheus Jesus, de 23 anos. O Timão emprestou o jogador ao Red Bull Bragantino com uma cláusula de compra obrigatória caso ele atingisse 30 jogos. O volante fez só 22 jogos e, por problemas extracampo, perdeu prestígio e não será adquirido. Ele não fez nenhuma partida em 2021. O contrato dele com o Corinthians vai até dezembro de 2023 e, por enquanto, não há sinais de que pode ser reintegrado ao elenco. Matheus Jesus em Bahia x Bragantino Ari Ferreira/Red Bull Bragantino

Published: January 14, 2021

NEW YORK - In the long-awaited battle between undefeated rising junior featherweight stars, WBO 122-pound World Champion Angelo Leo meets Stephen "Cool Boy" Fulton Jr., in the main event of the first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast of 2021 Saturday, January 23 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT live on SHOWTIME from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., in a Premier Boxing Champions event.   The co-main event pits two more undefeated 122-pound boxers against each other as Ra'eese Aleem and Victor Pasillas face off in a 12-round bout for the interim WBA title. The telecast opener features rising prospect Rolando Romero against Justin Pauldo in a 12-round lightweight bout for Romero's interim WBA title. The combined ring record of the six fighters on the card is a remarkable 96 wins with just one loss.  The event is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions.   "We're rolling straight into 2021 ready to keep creating as many opportunities as we can for our fighters," said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions. "Angelo Leo and Rolando Romero will both be defending their titles for the first time and will be put to yet another test in their respective bouts. Everyone has been working hard and fine-tuning in preparation for January 23, and it's going to be another great night of boxing filled with very exciting talent to kick off the new year."   "Leo vs. Fulton is a true 50-50 matchup between two rising stars entering the primes of their careers," said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. "Fulton's chance at capturing the title was delayed but his opportunity finally comes January 23 on SHOWTIME. Leo worked incredibly hard to capture the world championship in August and will come prepared and determined to defend it successfully.

"The super bantamweight division will have a clear world title contender emerge from the co-main event, a battle of unbeatens between Aleem and Pasillas. Add in the opening bout of 'Rolly' Romero vs. Justin Pauldo, a fight that can launch a prospect into a contender, and we have an excellent fight card to kick off the year."   Leo (20-0, 9 KOs), who fights out of the Mayweather Promotions stable, became the first world champion from his hometown of Albuquerque, N.M., since legendary three-division champion Johnny Tapia when he defeated Tramaine Williams by unanimous decision in August. The 26-year-old was originally scheduled to face Fulton for the vacant WBO junior featherweight world title that evening in the first SHOWTIME boxing event following the pandemic shutdown of the sport, but Fulton was forced to withdraw following a positive COVID-19 test.

"It's been a crazy year for everyone but to say I walked out of 2020 a world champion is truly incredible and humbling," said Leo. "I spent 16 years training for that moment to become a champion, and here I am, preparing for my next camp for my first defense top of 2021. That's a blessing, and I thank Mayweather Promotions and my team for that. My experiences with Floyd last camp going to really put me in a great position going into this fight.   "My father Miguel has been instrumental in keeping me grounded and reminding me that all of these fighters are eyeing my spot. My goal in 2021 is to remain champion and get more belts and Fulton is that next test."   Born and raised in West Philadelphia, Pa. Fulton (18-0, 8 KOs) has faced impressive competition in his young career while rising up the 122-pound ranks, where he is currently rated No. 1 by the WBO. In his last 12 professional fights, the 26-year-old has beaten seven unbeaten fighters, including Josh Greer, Adam Lopez and Luis Saul Rosario. Fulton's two most recent wins are a knockout over Isaac Avelar in August 2019 before most recently scoring a dominant 12-round unanimous decision victory over Arnold Khegai in January.

"Training is going great," said Fulton. "I feel like everything happens for a reason because I'm 10 times more ready now than I was the first time around. I'm excited to fight for the title and I expect nothing but Angelo Leo to be himself and fight his fight on January 23." Ranked in the top-10 by the WBA and IBF at 122 pounds, Aleem (17-0, 11 KOs) can take a big step closer to a world title shot when he faces fellow unbeaten Pasillas for the interim WBA strap on January 23. Raised in Michigan and training out of Las Vegas, Nev., Aleem, 30, has stopped his past six opponents inside the distance as he continues to step up his competition.   "This is a high-stakes fight and the winner will get a guaranteed world title fight," said Aleem. "It's going to be a good fight, but I am at the top of the heap. I knew I belonged at the top a long time ago and after my last fight that was proven. Winning this fight makes me the number-one contender, and the only thing left after this is to win the world title."  

Pasillas (15-0, 8 KOs), who hails from East Los Angeles, is fresh off a dominating sixth-round knockout over then-unbeaten Ranfis Javier Encarnacion in September 2020 which launched him into the WBA's top-10 rankings. Like Aleem, the 28-year-old Pasillas also carries significant power. He has stopped his four most recent foes including a first-round knockout of Ernesto Guerrero.   "I've envisioned being in this position since I first stepped into a boxing gym at age eight and now it's time to seize the moment," said Pasillas. "I'm going to take full advantage of this opportunity and show the world, and everyone watching on SHOWTIME, that I belong on the big stage with the elite fighters at super bantamweight. Aleem is a good fighter, but he won't be able to hang with me. I'm going to punish him until I knock him out. East L.A. in the house, let's go!"   

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nev., Romero (12-0, 10 KOs) returns to SHOWTIME following his controversial unanimous decision victory over Jackson Marinez in August. The 25-year-old captured the interim WBA lightweight title with that win and went the distance for just the second time in his professional career. Fighting under the Mayweather Promotions banner, Romero has been matched tough early in his career with just two losses among his four most recent opponents including the once-defeated Pauldo.   "I'm going to approach this fight like I do any other fight, I don't feel the need to sell myself," said Romero. "I'm thankful for my fans who have been with me since day one. I fight for them, because a fan of Rolly is to be an underdog, to be doubted, and that's all I have ever been. Whether you're with me on January 23 or against me, I know you will be watching."   

Following an impressive unanimous decision victory over a tough Josec Ruiz in August 2020, Pauldo (14-1, 7 KOs) returns against the stiffest test of his career when he faces blue-chip prospect Romero. Hailing from Orlando, Fla. and training in Houston, Texas, Pauldo, 26, owns a four-inch reach advantage over Romero, who is the third unbeaten foe of his career.     "I'm thankful for this opportunity and I'm excited for all of my years of hard work to pay off on January 23," said Pauldo. "I was already training and in shape when I got the call for this fight, so I'm going to be 100% on fight night. Romero is a one-gear type of fighter who comes straight forward. I believe that I have the better skills and am the better all-around fighter. This is definitely going to be an interesting fight with contrasting styles, and I can't wait to show off my skills and bring this title home."

Do sports teams’ sustainability efforts matter to fans?

A number of sports activities occasions have been disrupted by excessive climate occasions, reminiscent of wildfires in 2020. AP Photograph/Tony Avelar

Whereas the game sector’s environmental affect is just not totally understood, it has a social platform and attain to affect a big variety of individuals worldwide to decide on extra sustainable behaviors. Brian McCullough, affiliate professor of sport administration at Texas A&M College, says that sport organizations needs to be proactive in changing into extra sustainable to extend enterprise efficiency, deepen connections with followers and entice new ones.

Do followers care about sports activities groups’ sustainability efforts?

How are sports activities being affected by local weather change? And the way may they be affected sooner or later?

To make use of a sports activities analogy, there can be winners and losers on account of local weather change. Sure sports activities, like outside winter sports activities and even browsing, are weak to the consequences of local weather change. For instance, decreased winter months will make it more difficult to host the Winter Olympics as a consequence of fewer eligible cities; modifications in ocean tides, and thus waves, might affect browsing competitions and drive them to relocate.

Elevated rainfall and subsequent flooding has already impacted cricket in England and India. In the meantime, the extraordinary wildfires and subsequent air high quality impacted the Australian Open in January 2020 and resulted within the cancellation of baseball video games in Seattle. The examples prolong to the elevated frequency and depth of hurricanes within the Gulf and Japanese Seaboard. This development of occasion disruption is predicted to proceed.

Granted, sports activities being canceled throughout these pure disasters is a small consequence to make sure the protection of human life, however it does affect the enterprise of sport and has super monetary penalties. After Hurricane Harvey, the Houston sports activities market was displaced, and groups needed to play prolonged street video games as a result of it was not possible to host video games or have followers safely journey to the stadiums.

Lastly, sport stadiums in some coastal cities, reminiscent of Miami or New York, are threatened by rising ocean sea ranges. Thus, city planners and sport groups want to noticeably take into account the chance of their sport services flooding.

These examples, amongst many others, present that the enterprise of sport is threatened. Additionally they show how climate occasions can affect the methods during which we take part in sports activities and recreation. Excessive warmth would require sport contributors to be cognizant of when and to what extent they train open air. Anglers and hunters should adapt to modifications in migration or populations of their desired sport. All that is to say that sport, whether or not as spectators or contributors, could also be weak to the consequences of local weather change and needs to be prepared to reply and adapt to those modifications.

What have you ever present in your analysis round sports activities and the atmosphere?

What I’ve present in my analysis is that sport organizations usually miss sure points of their environmental affect assessments. These organizations sometimes have a slim view targeted on the ability or occasion itself. This restricted focus overlooks externalities which have a large environmental affect such because the carbon-producing transportation of groups and followers, meals consumption and waste manufacturing.

My analysis colleagues and I’ve additionally discovered that sport practitioners may be constrained inside their organizations to interact in environmental initiatives. This may be due to an absence of help from higher administration and possession and uncertainty on how their followers will reply, amongst different perceived constraints.

We discovered that followers are receptive to those initiatives and can even partake within the efforts to scale back the occasions’ and their particular person environmental footprints when attending sporting occasions. We designed campaigns with sporting occasions and evaluated the successes of those campaigns. We discovered that focused environmental sustainability campaigns can educate sport spectators and contributors to extend the usage of mass transit, enhance waste restoration and buy carbon offsets to mitigate private impacts when attending a sporting occasion.

Pre- and post-event surveys helped design and assess the social and monetary returns on funding of the campaigns. Not solely are there behavioral modifications on the occasion; I discovered that sport followers change their on a regular basis behaviors and even advocate for sustainable coverage modifications of their native communities to imitate what they skilled at sure sporting occasions.

Groups can profit financially from a lot of these investments, I discovered. Sport occasions that characteristic environmental initiatives will deepen their connections amongst sure segments of followers. That is true for each politically conservative and liberal followers and outdated or younger followers. This speaks to the universality of sport by the collective identification of being a sport fan of a selected group. This social identification may be leveraged by groups to advertise social norms and affect followers to vary their behaviors, whether or not that be in Washington or Louisiana. Moreover, company sponsors that help these initiatives additionally see elevated model perceptions and intentions to buy their services or products.

What may be performed by sporting our bodies and groups to make their operations extra sustainable?

Sport governing our bodies and groups ought to first assess their environmental impacts after which take small steps to comprehend the monetary and social returns on their efforts.

The Seattle Mariners carried out power audits and facility upgrades and realized substantial power and price financial savings. The Ohio State College Athletics Division applied complete waste administration that not solely works carefully within the stadium however within the surrounding group to realize zero waste in Ohio Stadium. Different organizations just like the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Sounders offset their groups’ carbon emission by carbon offsetting packages together with facility operations, group journey and fan journey.

Sport organizations and services are utilizing renewable power by that includes photo voltaic panels like at Levi Stadium, dwelling of the San Francisco 49ers. The Johan Cruijff Area, dwelling to the AFC Ajax, in Amsterdam options battery arrays that may retailer sufficient power to satisfy the calls for of all the occasion.

Different notable organizations are the Seattle Kraken, the brand new NHL enlargement group, and the Forrest Inexperienced Rovers, a soccer membership in England. The Seattle Kraken group has leveraged its enviornment naming rights with Amazon to deal with environmental sustainability by naming the ability Local weather Pledge Area.

The Forrest Inexperienced Rovers have designed and can construct a stadium fully made out of sustainably sourced wooden. Presently, the group’s services are powered fully by renewable power, and their concessionaires characteristic solely plant-based meals objects, dramatically reducing the environmental affect of the group. Environmental sustainability needs to be seen as innovation. That is an modern journey and never merely a vacation spot.
