Check the article out, and congratulations to Chris for not only a spirited and wonderful performance at the most prestigious grappling tournament in the world, but also for competing with a “submit and win” attitude (as most competitors try to win on points).

In the weight class of 87.9 kg an under.
"In this division the only people I really paid attention to were Andre Galvao and Tarsis Humphreys. Sadly to say that Tarsis lost his second match on a judges decision. I do have to say that Tarsis did look like he was a step behind in all of his matches. It wasn’t a pretty day for Tarsis. Tarsis has come close many times but has yet to climb over that hump. I do believe that he will have his day, unfortunately it was not today. Andre Galvao looked strong, athletic and ready to go. Super confident persona and beautiful Jiu-Jitsu. Andre Galvao advances to the semifinals but not before he had a seriously tough match that went down to the very end with Chris Weidman. Chris never stopped the pressure and had several darce chokes on Galvao that he had to escape from. Galvao could’ve easily lost in this match but thankfully he didn’t. This match was probably the most action packed of the day! I’m really looking forward to see if Galvao spar tomorrow!"

Looks like he has made a name for him self

Very impressive, really great job Chris.

Just to be clear, the post by Billy was a quote from an outside source. I was about to say Hey Billy, what's with the "Galvao could’ve easily lost in this match but thankfully he didn’t" comment, lol...

Chris is an awesome athlete and it's incredible that he made it to such a prestigious event. This tournament was a win win for him. He's only a purple belt, and he earned that belt in about a years time. He's awesome to train with and is a great asset to the team. He really brings a great deal of knowledge and competitive experience as well.

Yes thanks Danny didn't realize that till now...that's definitely the writers opinion not mine, was rooting for Chris 100% to take that match.
