In an effort to get an accurate picture I did some research from other sources, and in doing so I came across a story mentioning how a man by the name of Sergio Penha gave Rickson all he could handle in a BJJ match. He was up on points but ended up losing due to pressure being put on his injured rib.(every source I saw mentioned the rib as a factor by the way, not my words) Regardless, this isn't to question Rickson or that match in particular. My question is who is Sergio Panha and what has he done in the jiu jitsu world competition wise? In researching him all I could find were accounts of his match with Rickson and how he was a BJJ legend, and zero videos of him on youtube/google etc... Anyone who could shed some light on this mystery man would be grealy appreciated. Thanks. To whom it may concern,
