Talking with TATAME after the competition, Cyborg commented his fights. “It’s a dream to be here participating beside my holly idols of Jiu-Jitsu, to me is much more important to be here”, the black belt tells, talking about his origins.

“I came from Mato Grosso do Sul, on Pantanal... I’m coming step by step, I made my gym, I could get my spot with a lot of train, so just to be here, on the tatame, is a dream to me, I’m smiling from ear to ear just to be a part of it“, said even happier to be on the final, against Fabício Werdum.

“I have no words for to be on the head and make the final. I could submit on the final, I grabed the back, but Fabricio is a great fighter, deserved the victory. That’s my first participation on the event and I’m on the final, I couldn’t be better“, said, celebrating the victory on the semi final over one of the biggest names on the history of the competition. “To beat a legend as Jeff Monson was very emotional“.

After the good development on ADCC, Roberto is looking for more competitions without kimono. “This year I’ll still fight the Worlds No-Gi and I’m chosen to fight fort he Brazilian team of Grappling, to fight the Worlds on Florida, on my backyard. I’ll train a lot to be good on Worlds Grappling to, who knows, take the title of champion home“, concluded the Brazilian.
