Results continue to make their way out of Lisbon, Portugal, where the 2019 IBJJF European Championships have been underway all weekend. Some notable moments stood out immediately: lightweight Lucas Lepri’s tear through the heavily weighted Absolute division (though he ultimately took second in a loss to Gustavo Batista); Mayssa Bastos’ continued rise in her victory over Sabrina Gebrelli; Rudson Mateus’ comeback win versus Gabriel Almeida after 2018’s disappointing Euros loss; and Ffion Davies’ choking her way to gold over Gabi Fletcher, one of only two submission finishes in the female black belt competition.
