It was awesome. Thankyou Jake and enjoy your turkey:)

Rafa uses the tech he showed relentlessly in this match. Highly gi reliant, but gorgeous nonetheless.

Yeah, that's pretty crazy. Imagine how good these kids will be in 10 years if they stick with the program.

Well I just got a chubby...no homo

You cant get tired of winning. I imagine if he were, he'd move up a weight class or do some open weight.

Yeah, until he did what Marcelo has done, going up in weight class and beating the bigger guys, then he can get tired and retired like Marcelo..:)

Well I don't know about 10 yrs down the road, but right now, Cora is going after Alyssa for their rematch. Its been a year since they last fought and we have time to polished up her 10thplanet techniques. And she's doing this while having to go to school and only trains 1.5 hours a day. :) I sure hope you are there this time at Kids Pan Am to get the footage...:)

Its kind of funny that since they fought at Kids Pan 2013, they now become friends on Instagram. But at the same time they know they have to train hard because they are the top two 10 yr old girls around and will help to motivate each other to get better.

Amazing episode as always Budo Jake!

I was hanging with Ronda, Jessamyn and Shayna the other day and I showed them Cora's highlight reel, they were blown away :-)

Budo! I hope have renato on your show someday, even tho we don't exactly see eye to eye on a anything, ever, his story is pretty interesting. If you do have him on, all I ask is that you edit any negative comments about me out, thank you :-)

Had to re-watch the tech part a couple times so many little times.
