The tenth installment of Milton Regis and Eloy Santos’s Long Island Pride tournament crowned beasts of the caliber of Ricardo “Demente” Abreu and Lucas Lepri, who each took a belt home with them.

Lucas, an old acquaintance of the Long Island crowd, returned to the event and won yet again. In the final of the lightweight absolute division, the Alliance athlete overcame excellent featherweight Renan Borges, a black belt with fantastic defenses.

But Lepri, besides being much heavier, is extremely technical. With constant pressure and pace, the Jiu-Jitsu teacher living in New York kept the match favoring him throughout and won without any scares.
