Cyborg

BJJ match of the day is Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu vs. an unnamed opponent at the ADCC Pro Trials in NJ last year. Cyborg is a 2x No-Gi World Champion and 3x Pan Am Champion. He got his nickname after being in a bad car accident when he was a Blue Belt. The accident shattered his left arm, and the doctors told Cyborg he probably wouldn’t move his arm again (he took over 300 stitches and still has broken glass on his arm today). 4 months after the accident, Roberto took 2nd in the Brazilian Nationals. Because Roberto had never been to a major tournament final before, Isaias, a Black Belt from Carlson Gracie’s academy gave him the nickname Cyborg.
