Keenan Cornelius Taps Erberth Santos To Win $15,000!
The SJIIF World Championships featured an all-star final with Keenan Cornelius facing Erberth Santos. 

Technical wizard Keenan had never faced the dangerous Santos in competition before and the two former teammates (Santos briefly represented Atos) met in the final of the absolute division, with a cool $15,000 on the line for the winner. 

The match, which you can see below, was a close affair until Cornelius employed his trademark worm guard to hit a fast back take, tapping Santos with a collar choke shortly after. 

Skip to 27.00 to see the match.
