ADCC 2013 & UFC 166

What an awesome weekend of some of the very best in MMA and BJJ competing at the highest level. The “Olympics” of No Gi Jiu Jitsu, (ADCC) was held in China and saw the very best in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Submission Grappling) vying for the Title. Congratulations to friend of NJ United Mixed Martial Arts, JT Torres, for winning the Bronze medal in the -77kg division, definitely one of the toughest divisions in the tournament.

UFC 166 was held Saturday night and had some of the most entertaining Mixed Martial Arts action. The NJU  Team had an awesome time watching the fights at Hooters Restaurant on Rt. 23 in Wayne.  Gilbert Melendez vs. Diego Sanchez one of the best fights of the year with Melendez winning a unanimous decision. Cain Velasquez once again proved that he is the best heavyweight MMA fighter in the World, with a 5th rd TKO over Junior Dos Santos! What an awesome night of fights!

See everyone this week on the mats!
