Congrats: US MMA OPEN WINNERS Davila & Rosario

News:

The US MMA OPEN is an opportunity for anyone in the martial art community to come and test their skills in a safe and reasonable manner. contestants from as far away as boston met at Union Station in Hartford CT, in a a very impressive set up including roped rings, to face off in the most dynamic tournament in the world. Perry Siegal, Director of Events, says “We dont want to be the biggest, we just want to be the best.” Competitors were assigned to pools in two different randomly assigned divisions. The Champions of the event were Tony Davila and Luis Rosario who each caught each of their opponents in submission, thus securing their titles of US MMA OPEN Grappling Division Champion. In addition to receiving medals, the Champions were awarded a Scottish DIrk made by sponsor Cold Steel, one of the best knife and edged weapon makers in the world. The Scottish Dirk is a REAL weapon with historical significance back to the days of WIlliam Wallace and the Highlanders fight for freedom. It is given in honor of Grandmaster Helio Gracie and the entire Gracie family who have Scottish roots. Congratulations Mr. Davila and Rosario.
