RAFAEL SAPO BEATS TRAVIS LUTTER IN BOSTON'S MOOSIN- GOD OF MARTIAL ARTS MMA INAUGURAL EVENT

Our very own and Draculino's Black Belt, Rafael Sapo, beats the Ultimate Fighter winner and Ex-185lbs. title contender, Travis Lutter, by TKO on the first round on a very crowded arena in Boston.
With an audience of 7 thousand people plus, Sapo put on a show and domminated the fight, showing that he belongs to the biggest stage in MMA ( you know where).
Besides Sapo and Lutter, TIm Sylvia won the main event, beating the strongest Man on earth, Marius Potsdan by Tap out and Yves Edward lost in a real close decision to WEC veteran, Mike Campbell.
Congrats, Sapo.

Sometimes we learn by imitation. We look around for somebody who is doing what we want to do in a way that we admire. And then we take that person as an example to follow. We have 2 of those kinds of people here in our school and for the month of May, we have chosen them to be our schools Role Models. They are Chris Guzman and Bryan Newton! Thank you for being such wonderful students!!

We are lucky enough to have back one of draculino's top students back at Draculino's. Samuel Braga was there when we first opened helping out and was amazing to learn from. Don't miss your chance to learn and train with one of the top grapplers in the world here at our very own GRACIE BARRA TEXAS.

Chris Fisher, one of our talented Blue Belts, will be fighting at the Lone Star Beat Down on May 14th. Tickets will be sold through Thiago only. If you want to pick some up, make sure you contact Thiago at the school and make all purchases through him.

Our guys did excellent at the Rupture tournament. We had a lot of our guys participate and almost every single placed. We proved again why we are one of the most dominating schools in Texas.
