In the final of the 32 man tournament at Grapplers Quest at Tachi Palace, our friend Xande Ribeiro faced Joao Assis. During the fight Assis locked on a kneebar which popped Xande's knee damaging the medial ligament. Xande continued fighting, looking for the submission win right to the full time limit showing the warrior spirit that we know he is known for.

After confirming on his facebook that he was injured an interview in the Brazilian version of Tatame.com goes into more detail letting us know that the results of the MRI will determine whether surgery is needed but Xande has already promised to get back to the mats as soon as he can after first taking care of his health.
