SuperCampeonato Cyclone de Luta-Livre'n'Submission came to mark one more huge chapter in the classic Luta-Livre versus Jiu Jitsu rivalry. The event had three super fights, and several great tournaments in different categories. But without a doubt, everyone's attention was centered on the 3 superfights.
The super fights started around 3:40 pm and the heat was 40ºC when the first fighters stepped on the mat for a 10 minute fight. Fabricio 'Morango' Camoes (GRACIE Tijuca) and Marcus Vinicius (Team Mario Miglioli) squared off in a super fight where 'Morango' dominated the action but he did not get a submission. This fight was a sequence of good moments for 'Morango', who caught Vinicius's back in the first minute, though without the hooks or the rrear naked choke. Vinicus had a reversal and several escapes from Morango's submission attempts, final score 6-1 in Morango's favor.
The second super fight was a challenge between the old school and the new generation of Luta-Livre.
Eugenio Tadeu (Tadeu's Luta-Livre Team) faced Fabiano Bernardes(Team Mario Miglioli). Tadeu is 39 years old and he hasn't competed since 1996, while Bernardes was training in the USA during 2001 and he had took part in the last Copa Stone (2002/5/26), where he defeated his opponent by verbal tapout. Both started the fight with shirts on. The crowds seemed evenly divided 50% 50% for each fighter. The people who were rooting for Tadeu seemed more lively, and Tadeu got the first score by taking Bernardes down very close to the edge of the mat. Bernardes almost reversed him, but he couldn't. Still very close to the edge of the mat, Tadeu tried an ankle lock, but they were off the mat and the fight was re-started in the center on the feet.
So they began with several neck clinches. Tadeu tried to take Bernardes down and he was successful once , making it 4-0 over Bernardes. Bernardes had 2 advantages from reversals. With only 1:33 until the end of the match, Bernardes took Tadeu down and passed his guard, tying the score at 4-4, on his advantages he'd be the winner. However Tadeu summoned one last rush of strength and in the last 10 seconds got a saving takedown which provided for him more two points. This was a good return from Tadeu who won by 6-4 against a tough new Luta-Livre fighter.
Alexandre 'Cacareco' Ferreira (Ruas VT System) against Paulo Filho (Brazilian Top Team) was the most anticipated fight of the event and it turned out to be one of the most evenly matched Submission matches held this year on Brazilian soil.
Jiu Jitsu and Luta-Livre's rivalry was so high in the 80's and 90's that brawls and street fights were very common in Rio de Janeiro. Well, that aggressive rivalry almost came back in this Submission match! When the names of 'Cacareco' and Filho were announced, the fighters walked to the center of the mat and then the stare down began. Both fighters are known as excellent takedown fighters, 'Cacareco' with his Luta-Livre and Wrestling background and Filho with his Judo and Wrestling expertise, and the staredown alone let you know this was to be a war!
They started the fight coming right at each other looking for a takedown. This ram-like charge was repeated three times. Then Filho quickly pulled 'Cacareco' to his half-guard, On the mat and on the bottom, Filho semmed comfortable and he spoke to 'Cacareco', telling him he was stalling. 'Cacareco' almost passed Filho's guard, but Filho stayed composed and established the full guard. Filho complained to the referee that 'Cacareco', once again, was stalling. Filho then put his foot on Cacareco's groin to sweep him. When Filho tried it, 'Cacareco' almost passed his guard, causing Filho to turn on all fours. 'Cacareco' was very smart and suplexed him, scoring 2-0. 'Cacareco' kept himself in good position while on Filho's back, but then Filho shook him off and began to try take 'Cacareco' down. 'Cacareco' wound up taking Filho down and passing his guard, but he was not able to hold these positions long enough to score any points and after this 'Cacareco' sprawled on Filho twice near the edges of the mat and the referee interpreted it as Cacareco leaving the mat. The referee took away two points (-2) from 'Cacareco'.
So the score was now 2 to 2, a draw. In the end, Filho tried to get a takedown. Again this also was very close to the edge of the mat so the referee didn't give him any points. This drew a lot of complaints by Ruas VT System and BTT men. The fight had to be stopped for 10 minutes to settle things down. When the fight was re-started, there were only 10 seconds left and that didn't give either fighter a chance to do anything.
The final result was a draw and this again prompted both camps to complain.
