  • Pat Downey put his opponent to sleep at the IBJJF World Championship, but after taunting him, a brawl ensued and both men were disqualified from the competition.

Pat Downey, a former NCAA Division I wrestler and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, was disqualified from the IBJJF World Championships after a series of events that unfolded during his match. Initially, Downey secured a victory by putting his opponent, Diego Pato, to sleep with a tight arm triangle choke. However, the situation escalated when Pato, upon waking up, appeared to be disoriented and upset, leading to a confrontation. As Pato approached Downey aggressively, Downey's coach intervened, pushing Pato away, which then led to a brawl involving both teams. Despite attempts to de-escalate the situation, the chaos resulted in Downey's disqualification from the tournament. This incident has sparked discussions on sportsmanship and the handling of competitive stress in martial arts.
