As most of you already know because you watched it live on Showtime Friday night, BJJ United instructor Wilson Reis became the first ever Elite XC Bantam Weight Champion of the WORLD!!! Wilson defeated a VERY TOUGH opponent in Abel Cullum in a five round non stop war. Wilson works harder than pretty much everyone I know, his work ethic and dedication paid off big time when they finally announced "and the new Elite XC Bantam Weight Champion of the world......WILSON REIS" I was very proud of my best friend, because I know personally what he went though and sacrificed his body and time preparing to conquer this giant goal he set a long time ago!
Wilson said after the fight " This belt is dedicated to everyone in my life" This includes everyone one of you at BJJ United, Philly/Jersey MMA, and Tri-State. ONE GIANT TEAM!!! Now Wilson, please take a week off and give our bodies a chance to heal also from you beating the crap out of us for so many weeks now!! Go celebrate you deserve it more than anyone!!!!!!! Bring in you cameras, because i heard that belt is gonna be at BJJ UNITED on Monday!!!
