Stines ranked fourth in the world
AT THE ABU DHABI WORLD Professional Jiu Jitsu Championship, a tournament Robert Stines of Phelps Dunbar in Tampa calls “the Olympics of jiu jitsu,” he placed fourth in his division (Master II – Purple Belt, Lightweight). He competed against fighters from countries like Japan, Australia, Lebanon, Brazil, and UAE, and is, therefore, considered to be ranked fourth in the world in his division. Rob considers this tournament to have been a great learning experience and hopes to make it back next year for a shot at the championship.
