As inevitable as Roger Gracie’s choke from the mount, we bring you our special edition, wrap-up show of the historic 2009 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Championship that took place last weekend! With the jiu-jitsu Mundial champions we bring you in this episode, there is more gold, silver, and bronze in this show than in a jewelry store.
