FlashBack Friday: Rafael Lovato Jr Battles Tanquinho At Blue Belt Mundials

View All IBJJF
FBF: Lovato vs Tanquinho At Mundials

During Rafael Lovato Jr's first trip to Brazil for the 2000 IBJJF World Championships he was just a blue belt trying to climb the ranks. In the absolute division he would face a much smaller competitor Augusto 'Tanquinho' Mendes.

Both men would go on to establish themselves as World Champion black belts and World Champion MMA fighters, but they first met sixteen years ago on the green and yellow mats of Mundials. Watch the entire match above.

Rafael Lovato Jr fights Tanner Rice in the co-main event of Fight to Win Pro 11, tomorrow night!
