abu dhabi international bjj cup in the uae
Representing the USA, Ray Elbe earned a bronze at the 2008 Abu Dhabi International held at the world famous ADCC in the U.A.E. The two day event featured nearly 33,000 USD being awarded as fight purses.
Ray competed in the two day event, losing in the Semi finals to BJJ Brown Belt, and 2000 (Sydney) Judo Olympian Hassen Moussa. Moussa avoided a tight foot lock to eventually win the match 6-2, and capture the tournaments prize money by winning the gold medal.
Ray made several international contacts in the U.A.E. and Tiger Muay Thai will hopefully be seeing several high ranking Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighters making trips to Phuket for MT training.
