—

  • No. 4 seed. 31 Grand Slam points. Likely semifinal if you beat Hoskins and Vitullo.
  • Carlson Gracie Team — expect top pressure, heavy passing, and a physical 5-minute pace.
  • Not Comprido. Do not study the wrong Medeiros.
  • Draws the winner of Tupper / Hay at 4:44 PM on Mat 19. He is one win from your side of the semi.

Game plan
High threat

Carlson pressure, 31 Grand Slam points, sitting on your semi.

No. 4 seed. Carlson Gracie Team. He waits for Tupper or Hay, then you. This is not Comprido — do not waste time on the wrong film. Expect a physical, top-oriented 5-minute match from a team that still believes in pressure.

Weaknesses

He has to win one to see you

Tupper/Hay is not a bye. Someone can make him spend a match.

Exploit: Watch Fight 59 at 4:16 and Fight 63 at 4:44 from the bullpen. If he looks slow, your semi is a pace match.

By phase

  1. 01

    If he arrives tired

    Score immediately. Carlson guys rest in top half. Do not let him rest.

  2. 02

    If he arrives fresh

    Do not play a chest-to-chest war. Sweep or take the back. Make him move more than you.

IBJJF notes
  • Same mat, 5:05 PM. You may have two matches in the bank. He may have one. Manage the tank.
Watch in the film
  • Search Carlson Gracie Team Master 6 light — confirm it is Gama Medeiros, not Comprido or Revolution-team Medeiros.

You look past Vitullo, shake out, and walk into a seeded Carlson black belt you never watched.
