BJJ History lesson. Rodrigo ‘Comprido’ Medeiros was the first ever first TRUE Absolute champion. I know Worlds started in ‘96, but in 2000 (correct me if I am wrong on the year) he won the absolute World title (IBJJF) then winning the Copa Do Mundo (CBJJE, the other major tournament a lot people stateside do not know about) in the same year. This guy is a pioneer.
