Jiu Jitsu fighter Meggie Ochoa gave the country something to brag about anew after a bronze medal finish in the World IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship held recently in Long Beach, California.
The 28-year-old Ochoa, carrying the colors of the Atos Wolfpack, placed third overall in adult Brown-Rooster category behind Jessica Caroline Coelho Dantas of Brasa CTA and Amber Rymarz-Freitas of Gracie Barra.
Ochoa won her opening match opposite Luna Barea of the Roger Gracie Academy during the qualifiers before downing Iori Echigo of Tri-Force Jiu Jitsu Academy in the quarterfinals.
Her good run came to an end when she lost to Rymarz-Freitas in the semifinals. (Waylon Galvez)
