The World Absolute title ended up with an incredible finish! With less than 2 minutes to go in the match and Roger leading 4×2 in points and on Xande’s back (Xande on all fours, no hooks) all he needed to do was to maintain the position and get his long coveted absolute title, yet Roger went for the finish. The same characteristic that makes Roger the finisher that he is cost him the title! After a scramble both fighters stood up and Xande saw his opening and seized it, taking Roger down with time running out to secure the gold.Xande was the fighter of the event, as he stated: “He submitted 10, I submitted 9 but I have the win. I credit this to training with my brother, he gets me in the same bad positions as Roger does so I was ready to face him. He was ahead and I came back twice! This is a dream come true!”
Xande also won the heavy weight division submitting Thiago Gaia in the finals. Roger won the super heavy, beating Robert Drysdale by submission as well.
