Kid Peligro on NHB Radio talks Mundials and "Buchecha"

No Holds Barred: Kid Peligro on the 2013 Mundials and the Rise of
Buchecha

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman once again
spoke with our colleague and correspondent Kid Peligro (http://
www.kidpeligro.com).

Our main topic was the 2013 IBJJF World Jiu Jitsu Championship, also
known as the Mundials, which takes place May 29 through June 2 at The
Pyramid at California State University in Long Beach, California.
There will be a pay-per-view webcast of the Mundials on IBJJF TV
(http://ibjjftv.com).

Much of the discussion leading up to this year's Mundials focuses on
the sensation who emerged with double gold last year, the heavyweight
Marcus "Buchecha" Almeida of CheckMat. Now just 23 years old, among
other victories, Buchecha repeated his double gold performance in
March at the world's largest jiu-jitsu tournament, the 2013 Pans,
winning both his weight class and the absolute division.

"He, kind of, came out of nowhere," said Kid Peligro in this
interview. "It is part of his mystique, is he came out of nowhere last
Worlds."
