The second ADCC Sao Paulo Open took place on September 7th, 2024 and there was quite a few elite no gi grapplers standing on top of the podium at the end of the day. The women’s divisions in particular had some of the top competitors from all around Brazil involved. A lot of the gold medals went to those representing Melqui Galvao too, with Franciele Nascimento and Evellyn Azevedo standing out for their victories in the under 65kg and under 60kg divisions respectively. The only other big name competing in the women’s divisions was Tamiris Silva, and she won the biggest bracket available at over 70kg.
ADCC veteran Elioenai Braz made an appearance as well, and he stormed to victory in the under 100kg division by beating all three of his opponents on points. Another Melqui Galvao student won what was probably the most stacked division of the tournament at under 83kg though, with several top competitors standing lower than Matheus Ferreira on the podium. Rafael Paganini took home the silver medal at that weight while it was actually Ferreira’s teammate, Nikolas Souza, who won bronze. Souza also returned for the absolute division, where he added a silver medal to his collection and finished the day with a solid 7-2 record.
