Alliance heavyweight Nicholas Meregali cemented his position as the best brown belt in the world by winning both double gold at the IBJJF 2016 World Jiu-Jitsu Championship.

The two fought in one of the most thrilling matches of the year, and that's considering ALL belt colors and divisions.
It was a clash of styles between two incredible competitors.
Isaque: aggressive, scrambley, with a never-say-die style of fighting.
Meregali: the clinical technician, cool and calm under pressure, unflappable.
