GrappleMania Results: Seph Smith Wins Superfight
Seph Smith defeated his superfight opponent by submission in under 1 minute, Ryan Hall finishes his black belt opponent from the back in 3 minutes, and the team goes 17-1 for the day. **VIDEOS INSIDE**
Fifty/50 made a strong showing today with the two head instructors leading the way by finishing their feature match opponents in a combined four minutes. Seph Smith defeated tough Royce Gracie brown belt Jacob Whitfield with an arm triangle choke only one minute into their match, and Ryan followed up by submitting Wander Braga black belt Rudy “Rudini” Fischmann with an ezekiel choke three minutes into their match after being up on the score cards 7-0.
Not to be outdone, Rich Fitzgerald and Tim Koren went on a tear, winning 7 divisions between the two of them, submitting almost all of their opponents, and surrendering only one loss (to a considerably heavier competitor in the purple belt absolute final) for the day. As a team (of only 2 competitors), Fifty/50 took 3rd place overall in the Team Standings.
Tim’s Results:
Men’s Advanced Lightweight Champion
Men’s Advanced Absolute Champion
Men’s Purple Belt Lightweight Champion
Master (30+) Advanced Heavyweight Champion
Men’s Purple Belt Absolute 2nd Place
Rich’s Results:
Men’s Blue Belt Featherweight Champion

Seph Smith v. Jacob Whitfield (Royce Gracie/Triangle Jiu-Jitsu):
Ryan Hall v. Rudy Fischmann (Wander Braga):
All in all not a bad day for the team and a good step forward for some of the less experienced competitors as they work towards Mundial gold in 2011. Stay tuned for more news updates!
