Black Belt Results: Mundials 2013

From IBJJF.ORG:

As for my predictions. Caio pulled it out and got the W over Malfacine. As I suspected, running an academy took the edge off of the Mendes' brothers secret sauce and Augusto Tanquinho Mendes pulled it out. I thought he was coming on strong after his performance at the Abu Dhabi and Pan Ams and he did. Leandro Lo continues his momentum with another world champion performance and Langhi took 2nd, I would imagine due to some mat rust/visa issues. Otavio Souza is world champion again, Claudio Calasans a close second, and Victor Estima again with a bronze. This division played out pretty much how I thought it would, save Roberto Satoshi, I figured he would medal. Romulo topped Braulio despite his recent knee injury at the Abu Dhabi but Braulio having been away from the Gi for a couple years showed he's still one of the best in the world. Lovato took a disappointing (for him) 3rd place, with Bernardo Faria (a guy whose deep half-guard game I've borrowed) becoming world champion again. Rodolfo reigned supreme at weight and Buchecha closed it out with his professor Cavaca, setting up a highly anticipated rematch from the Mundials last year and the Pans with Rodolfo again threatening some great positions on Buchecha but ultimately succumbing to the now two-time world champion.
