Surly not fair to you. But it is to be expected when a ref's loyalties lie with the other competitor :\

Tatu is also the President of the Pennsylvania State Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation.

The congratulations was directed at Louis Ho.

Jonrivello, I didn't want you to think that was a jab at you for an unfortunate match.

Tatu BJJ out of Scranton, Pa

The funny thing is I'm wearing a Tatu BJJ shirt as I type this xD

oh I see, haha no biggie, doesnt change that i lost, but louis you deserve your black belt, no doubt

So Tatu is a 2nd degree BB and a multiple time Pan Am champ. No wonder he took me to 2 overtimes. A funny story. I thought that I might of had an advantage from the regulation match. Between the regulation match and the 1st overtime, Tatu was lecturing me on why there was no advantage. While he was explaining this to me in his broken Brazilian English, he kept pushing me in the stomach with his fingers to get his point across. But, he was very respectful to me all in all, so I have no problem with him. :)

Tatu is truly a respectable opponent. Obviously undersized. But he makes up for that with a great amount of experience. He took home 2 belts and 2 medals from Grappler's Quest. The 2 belts were obviously 1st place awards. His 2 medals were both silver, I do believe.

Again!
Congrats!

Yeah, I saw him afterwards walking around with some hardware. He's a beast, for sure. He was so technical from the bottom.

damn louis, really getting up there. i think your withholding something from us in sparring...faking that whole back injury to suprise us with competition wins as such :D congrats again.
