Rani Yahya - World Submission Grappling Champion

May 6th, 2007 - OC Jiu Jitsu and MMA instructor Rani Yahya won the Abu Dhabi World Submission Grappling Championships held in Trenton, New Jersey.

Rani submitted his opponent, Leo Vieira (probably one of the greatest grapplers ever) with a rear naked choke. Rani is also a winning MMA pro fighter and has fought in K-1 numerous times. He is now a pro fighter with the WEC. At such a young age, we expect Rani to do great things in the future!
