Europeans results & Damir returns to UFC
Results from Europeans
Last week we had 16 competitors at Europeans in Lisbon, ranging all the way from white to black belt level. We are proud of all of our athletes who traveled to compete and challenge themselves at one of the highest levels within jiu-jitsu.
This has been a great learning experience for the team, beginning with a dedicated training camp 2 months ago, culminating in this tournament. They each return with new experiences and perspectives, and are already working to refine and refocus their skill sets.
The team brought home 4 bronze medals, 3 silver medals, and 1 gold medal and we are very proud of their results and their effort.
