Julia Alves def. Ana Rodriguez

Julia Alves takes the Featherweight Championship belt. 

Thalyta Silva def. Helena Crevar

Thalyta Silva defends her Middleweight Championship belt against Helena Crevar by decision. 

Silva scored early and Crevar pulled guard, but was unable to create any scoring opportunities against the reigning champion. 

Silva ultimately won the match 2-0.

Pedro Marinho Def. Fabricio Andrey

Fabricio Andrey aka "Hokage" is eliminated from the BJJ Stars 16 no-gi Absolute Grand Prix by Pedro Marinho in the semifinals. Marinho didn't allow Andrey to get anything going, using his strength and balance to deflect Andrey's efforts, and pushing for his own takedowns. 

While there were no submissions, and no points scored, the judges were quick to deliver a decision in favor of Marinho. He'll now take on Yatan Bueno in the final. 

Yatan Bueno Def. Haisam Rida

Yatan Bueno, a late addition to BJJ Stars 16, defeats Haisam Rida in the no-gi Absolute Grand Prix. 

Bueno garnered two points off an arm drag, and that's all he needed to take the win. 

He'll head to the final, where he will take on Pedro Marinho.

Meyram Maquine Def. Leo Souza

Meyram Maquine and Leo Souza were the fourth Super Fight of the night, as the black belts went the distance. 

Maquine took home the win by points, 2-0, but seemed disappointed he was unable to get the submission.

Pedro Marinho Def. Devhonte Johnson

No submission, but Pedro Marinho took the judge's decision in defeating Devonte Johnson. Marinho moves on to a huge matchup against Fabricio Andrey.

Haisam Rida Def. Eli Braz

Haisam Rida moves on to the semifinals after submitting Eli Braz only 1:30 into the match with a rear naked choke. 

Fabricio Andrey Def. Javier Zaruski

Fabricio Andrey showed his strength as he performed two takedowns on a much larger opponent in Javier Zaruski, scoring 8 points before Zaruski was able to recoup  a few points. Andrey wins 8-2. 

Andrey is looking very dangerous as he moves on to the semifinals.

Yatan Bueno Def. Roberto Cyborg

Yatan Bueno game out with a ton of energy at the beginning of the match, hand-fighting against the elder Cyborg and trying to exhaust him. It mostly worked, as Cyborg pulled guard (our announcers noted they couldn't recall the last time Cyborg had done that). 

Cyborg had a chance at a heel hook, but Yatan Bueno was able to work his leg out of it. It went to the judges and Yatan Bueno wins by decision as Cyborg is eliminated. 

Pablo Oliveira Def. Mateo Ruiz

Pablo Oliveira defeated Argentinian Matea Ruiz, in the first black belt match of the night. Oliveira won by points, 2-0.

Livia Barasine Def. Eduarda Munis

Livia Barasine scored 14 points before submitting Eduarda Munis with an armbar in the first match of the night.
