Ben Saunders Receives BJJ Brown Belt

As he prepares for his UFC 113 fight in New Jersey, Ben Saunders received a new credential for his hard work in preparation for the upcoming bout.

The long time American Top Team disciple earned his brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from head trainer, Ricardo Liborio, over the weekend.

Never a stranger to submissions, Saunders has actually been doing quite a good job lately of not needing his ground skills as he's picked up his last couple of wins by knockout.

Devastating in the clinch using knees, Saunders backs up his stand-up with his ever growing ground arsenal, which helped him earn the recognition from his trainer at American Top Team.

Saunders will next compete at UFC 113 against Martin Kampmann in a welterweight contest on the main card.
