Baby Shark Joins Team Modolfo For AIGA Finals, Final Roster Set
The Team Modolfo final 11-man roster is now set with the addition of ADCC World Champion Diogo "Baby Shark" Reis to the star-studded squad.
Team Modolfo has finalized their roster for the upcoming AIGA Champion's League Finals, and they have loaded up with even more talent for their return to the Kazakhstan-based organization with the addition of Diogo "Baby Shark" Reis. The ADCC Champion joins Melqui Galvao Jiu-Jitsu teammates Mica Galvao, Kaua Gabriel, and Felipe Machado in the event.
Team Modolfo had an up and down quarterfinals run, winning the overall event but losing their final match to Team Universal Fighters. They will get a chance to rematch at the Finals in December, but have changed around some of their roster for their return.

AIGA is a team-based grappling event that uses a mix of ADCC rules and round-based matches to create their own unique hybrid ruleset. Modolfo will be one of four teams (Universal Fighters, Acai Republic, Battle Force being the other three) that will compete for the championship and prize money, having qualified through earlier events.
