This e-mail gives links for 27 matches that end in submission and also for 1 BJJ Black Belt Superfight that ends in controversy. On day two of the tournament, Sir Anthony Perosh and Mike Fowler (both 2007 Abu Dhabi Finalists), decided that they wanted to put on an exhibition match and see who was THE MAN with gi. The mats were cleared and the Pan Asian had its first ever BJJ Black Belt match underway. Watch it and see how you would score it.
