Nicholas Meregali of Alliance and Max Gimenis from GF Team are among the toughest brown belts in Brazil.  They met last weekend in the semi-finals of the brown belt absolute division at the 2016 IBJJF World Championships and did not disappoint.

Meregali is known for his deep DLR –or sometimes DLR-X guard – and Max Gimenis is a powerhouse passing machine.  Here are some of the most exciting moments from their match.
