Lana Stefanac has reached the Holy Grail in BJJ by going undefeated in the Absolute and Her Division this weekend at the Mundials/Worlds. Lana was awarded her Black Belt today. What makes this accomplishment MORE special is she has remained UNDEFEATED from a white belt to the black belt. AND she was the FIRST AMERICAN to receive the Gold Medal in the brown/black belt division.

She competed against 7 in her division and 27 in the absolute.

Here is the podcast from both her championship fights...WAY TO GO LANA!n. 

Below is the podcast from both of her championship fights:

First Championship Fight was with Black Belt Luka Dias

Caleb: Trinity BJJ's Lana Stefanac is now up against Luciana Dias (Gracie Humaita)!
Caleb: It's tied 0-0 between Lana and Luka after 1m20s.
Caleb: Lana is up 3-0 over Luka at 1m39s.
Caleb: Gracie Humaita's cheering section is on the edge of their seats for Luka, who is now sidemounted by Lana.
Caleb: Not an easy task getting away from Lana. Luka now finds herself down 6-0 against Lana.
Caleb: At 7m14s Lana Stefanac defeats Luka Dias by choke (?). Tough to see from this angle.

Absolute Championship against Black Belt Krya Gracie
Caleb: It's time for the womens absolute finals! Kyra Gracie vs Lana Stefanac!
Caleb: Kyra has a tough job ahead of her with Lana who despite a brown belt is one formidable opponent.
Caleb: @ptm2020 - I don't think these two ahve ever met before. Ana Carolina Vidal beat Kyra Gracie at the Pan-Ams. And the "big girl" you're referring to may be Alliance's Gabi Garcia. Lana Stefanac has beaten both of those girls this weekend.
Caleb: After 3 minutes, Kyra and Lana are still standing and are forehead to forehead.
Caleb: At 4m28s Lana gets a takedown on Kyra that results in Lana being in Kyra's guard. Stefanac is awarded 2 points.
Caleb: Kyra is working hard to threaten Lana's left arm. Lana is keeping low and tight to maintiain its safety.
Caleb: Lana is penalized, presumably for stalling.
Caleb: Kyra pulls guard and locks her legs in a tight closed guard.
Caleb: At 7:45 Lana gets sidemount and she's now up 5-2. This is where she beat Luka Dias earlier today!
Caleb: Lana has now gone north south on Kyra...
Caleb: ...and made it all the way around to side mountg on the other side.
Caleb: Thirty seconds remain! Lana is attacking the far side arm hard!
Caleb: Time runs out and despite a near sweep from Kyra, Lana retains her 5-2 lead. Lana Stefanac is the 2009 female absolute division world champion!
