New BJJ Hacks TV: Victor Silverio - My Jiu-Jitsu Championship Journey

I first came across him back on the BJJ Kumite and he's actually done quite well for himself at black belt.

Kickin' it with Keenan

As we move into an era where some of our favorite competitors only show up a couple times a year (*ahem* Malfacine, Mendes brothers, Lucas Lepri, et al)....I'm glad Keenan is still cocmpeting regularly throughout the year.

BJJ Kumite - Where Are They Now? Victor Silverio

Notwithstanding poor association to the Jiu-Jitsu "team" that shall remain nameless on this blog, Victor Silverio is featured on the most recent BJJ Hacks TV Piece. Below, I've also included a snazzy match of his from the Rio Open.

I was recently up at US Grappling Delaware/Diamond State Games and saw members of the above team competing. They won matches and divisions.But, y'know, if at the end of the day I was aware my coach had been present for a gangrape and his rationale for his innocence was that he wasn't erect....all the winning in the world would taste like battery acid.

BJJ Kumite - Where Are They Now? Victor Silverio

It's been some time since the BJJ Kumite introduced many of us to the likes of AJ Agazarm, Gary Tonon, Victor Silverio, Keenan Cornelius, and Sean Roberts. They're black bels now. Keenan's fighting with the big guys, AJ Agazarm and the like are all more high profile than previously.

Silverio managed to notch a win over the always tough as nails Gilbert Durinho Burns by the narrowest of margins but whatever. As a newly minted black belts, it's impressive no matter how close it was. He would lose 8x0 against Leandro Lo in that same Copa Podio event, but here he is fighting a very tough, very close battle with Leandro Lo.
