FloGrappling Showdown Cash Challenge - Atos vs GFTeam - Feb 23rd

I'll be at the Finishers Open next Saturday, coaching one of my guys, but it's going down 5pm EST Saturday, Febuary 23rd:

Teams are as follows:

Via FloGrappling.com: "Team Atos vs GF Team Competitors

  • 66KG Joao Mendes (Atos) vs Israel Souza (GFTeam) 
  • 77KG Michael Liera Jr (Atos) vs Jaime Canuto (GFTeam) 
  • 88KG Keenan Cornelius (Atos) vs Dante Leon (GF Team)
  • 99KG Lucas ”‘Hulk” Barbosa (Atos) vs Gutemberg Pereira (GFTeam) 
  • +99kg Kaynan Duarte (Atos) vs Max Gimenes (GFTeam)

Rules: Standard IBJJF Rules: 10 Minute Matches

No surprises here, all competitors have extensive experience in this format.

Team Standings Structure

  • Win by submission = 3 points
  • Win by points = 2 points
  • Draw = 1 point
  • Loss = 0 points"
Some early thoughts: Lieira will win by submission. Keenan will decisively beat Leon by points. Hulk looked less than usual monstrous self at the King of the Mats, so we'll see if he's hitting a slump. Duarte will beat Gimenes by points. Duarta struggled with Meregali in the most recent match of his I watched, but Duarte I don't think will have the same stylistic troubles with Gimenes.
