Road To Double Gold: Roberto Jimenez (Alliance)
Road To Double Gold: Roberto Jimenez (Alliance)
At the 2018 World Championships, Roberto found his rhythm.
At the beginning of 2018, Roberto Jimenez was a freshly promoted purple belt looking to carry over the incredible success he had as a juvenile to the adult divisions.
It was not as smooth of a transition as had hoped, but at the 2018 World Championships, Roberto found his rhythm: which was a disaster for every other athlete standing across the mat from him.
The Alliance representative Submitted Every. Single. Opponent that he faced at the 2018 World Championship: in his weight class – and the absolute division – putting him in the league of legends like Andre Galvao who did the same thing as a purple belt in 2003!
It's truly hard to say which moment was the most insane, but we're leaning towards the absolute semi-final where Roberto overcame a 9 point deficit by submitting his opponent with a NASTY modified loop choke.
But you've got other options to choose from.
