Over the weekend the 2018 South American Jiu-Jitsu Championships went down in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and two familiar names racked up a pair of gold medals each!
Nova Uniao standout Horlando Monteiro defeated Eric de Souza in the medium heavyweight finals and won a battle in the open class finals against Cicero Costa's Hygor Silva. The medal haul adds on to what has already been a very impressive 2018 for the 23-year-o black belt.
Earlier in the year, Horlando took gold at the 2018 IBJJF European Championship, silver at Brazilian Nationals and took double gold at American Nationals. Take a quick look at his medium heavyweight final below:
