BJJ Stars put on a stellar card Saturday night in Sao Paulo, Brazil, featuring several jiu-jitsu world champions and legends of the sport. Yet, Erberth Santos’ antics remain the biggest talking point hours after the event.
Santos, a multiple-time champion in IBJJF competition, including the 2017 World Championship, took on ADCC 2017 absolute gold medalist and IBJJF world champion Felipe “Preguiça” Pena in one of the most anticipated matches of the night.
Minutes after the match started, Santos suffered a knee injury. When the doctor entered the mat to check on him, Santos appeared to argue with someone in the audience, getting back on his feet and rushing into the crowd and initiating a brawl.
