Jacare beats Drysdale in supermatch
September 26, 2009 by Graciemag
The first day of weight-group disputes is now over and Robert Drysdale and Ronaldo Jacare had their ADCC 2009 supermatch.
Drysdale earned his place in the match after winning the absolute division in 2007, while Jacare came in as a substitute for an injured Roger Gracie.
Jacare was runner-up in 2005, having lost to the very Roger he replaces in the grand finale.
Jacare took the upper hand over Drysdale, winning 2 to 0 on the score cards.
How it went:
Jacare started out playing on top, but without offering much danger. With both again on their feet, Jaca managed to land a takedown, working from atop his adversary. Relying on his famed explosiveness, Jacare upheld the attack, but Drysdale annulled his attempts well.
With both again standing, Jacare took the chance to go for an inside-trip takedown. With Drysdale again standing, the two spent a good while trading grips.
With the first five minutes over and points now counting, Jacare took the initiative and barely missed landing another takedown. It was Drysdale’s turn to go on the attack and stir up the crowd. Jacare managed to defend well, though, and the two went back to trading grips.
After another attempt, Jacare finally managed to score the two points that would define the match in his favor at the end of regulation time.
