Michael Pixley's magical run is over at ADCC World Championships 2024 after being defeated by Rafael Lovato by decision in the -99kg division. 

The matches have moved quickly in the second day of action, but the Pixley-Lovato went the distance with the referees having to decide the winner.

Pixley defeated Nicholas Meregali yesterday, slamming him to the mat six minutes into the match. It was likely the biggest upset of ADCC 2024. 

Meregali's shoulder was separated in the move.

Lovato will head to the -99kg finals to take on Kaynan Duarte, who defeated Cyborg Abreu by submission.
