Newton fought seven times last night to win the silver medal at the IBJJF Pan American Championships!

Thanks to James, we had some play-by-plays via iPhone:

- Dominated his first opponent, then I think he submitted his guy. Then, his second match….I wish I had a picture, but there wasn’t enough time to take one. O soto gari straight into armbar. Brutal!!!!
Will update as it comes.

- Won his third match by total domination. His fourth was a beautiful guard pass followed by the guy turning inside. Newton jumped on the clock choke, and nailed it hard, earning the submission.

- He took second. Lost in the finals by triangle.
