Heading into the 2011 ADCC World Submission Wrestling Championships Fabricio Werdum had been crowned the Champion in the 99kg+ Division on two different occasions, in 2007 and 2009. In this year’s World Championship he once again made it to the finals.Werdum’s opponent, Vinny Magalhaes had never placed higher than third in the ADCC World Championships, earning two bronze medals in 2009, one in the 99kg+ division and the second in the Absolute division.
Werdum and Magalhaes would face off in the gold medal bout in this year’s Championship fight. In the end, Magalhaes prevailed, taking the decision by points and walking away as the champion.
The highlight of the fight, “Fabricio has gotten around Vinny's hips and gets an armlock/triangle combination from the back, they roll out of bounds and Vinny won't tap, this looks in, wow, Vinny is trying to rotate out and this looks serious, Vinny's arm might be gone here unless I'm not seeing something but he just isn't tapping. Vinny is stuck stuck stuck but is keeping Fabricio's leg up and Vinny rotates out holy crap, his arm has got to be hurt. Vinny looks fine though and they reset on the feet in the center of the mat.” – For complete coverage visit MMANation.
