In what was one of the most impressive finishes of the entire No-Gi World Championship tournament, Marcelo Mafra submitted Jon Satava in extremely impressive fashion to win the middle weight division and become the 2016 World Champion.







The match was very closely contested until Mafra snatched a guillotine about halfway through the contest. After almost securing 3 points for a pass the CheckMat World Champion quickly switch back to the neck and forced MGA's Jon Satava to tap.



Marcelo Mafra had an incredible tournament defeating Rafael Barbosa and Satava's teammate Marcos Tinoco to reach the finals.
