Matheus Gabriel defeated Meyram Maquine in the BJJ Stars 9 Lightweight GP final, capturing the $19,000 grand prize in an event honoring the memory of Leandro Lo.

Gabriel defeated Maquine on sweep points, winning 2-0 in the final. Earlier in the night, he submitted Wallison Oliveira and outscored Israel Almeida.

Throughout each of the matches, Gabriel wore a gi with an airbrushed image of Leandro on his back.
