Team Modolfo Adds Big Dan As Their Heavyweight For December's AIGA Finals
Team Modolfo has added to their roster with Team New Wave's biggest competitor, Big Dan Manasoiu, joining the squad for December's AIGA finals.
Team Modolfo has made the announcement that they will be taking the Team New Wave big man Dan Manasoiu to the finals in December, bringing even more starpower to their loaded team. After winning their qualifier - but dropping a match to Team Universal Fighters - Team Modolfo has continued to tweak their roster with additions like Mica Galvao. They are currently one of four teams who will meet in Kazakhstan, under AIGA rules to determine the 2023 league champion.
Big Dan Manasoiu has become a rising star in grappling, after the Team New Wave junior member won the 2022 ADCC European Trials and competed at the World Championships. Since then, he has dominated the ADCC Open circuit while appearing on big shows like Who's Next and Fight Pass Invitational. Dan's physically imposing presence is paired with a very technical guard, killer leg locks, and a talent for pinning (and smothering) the opposition.
Team Modolfo added Mica Galvao, Kaua Gabriel, and Felipe Machado a few weeks ago. They may not be done refiguring their roster, with ten slots available for the seven weights that will be contested. With four additions, there will have to be four athletes who were at the qualifiers but will not represent the team in the finals.
AIGA recently announced their big plans for the 2024 season, including a million dollar grand prize to the champion and qualifiers in countries around the world. All of AIGA's finals and their entire 2024 season will stream exclusively on FloGrappling.
