Who is this fighter?

OK, I need some help from some of you with encyclopedic knowledge of fighers and events.

Last night at 3 a.m. while feeding my 3 month old daughter, I (through blurry eyes) dug out an old NHB tape and watched Japan Vale Tudo 97. At the very end of the tape, another fight (not JVT97) was tacked onto the end.

It was Rumino Sato against a guy I didn't know. The guy threw Sato with a really nice hip throw, and ended up winning by armbar from the mount. The only real info I can give is that he had dark hair and a goatee.. he was not Asian, and he had Carlos Newton in his corner. The guy was a pretty nice fighter.. anyone know who it is?

Maybe Joel Gerson.

Joel Gerson

btw, Sato flew all the way to canada to get a rematch with Gerson in the canadian jiu jitsu championships and he beat him with a rear choke and took the absolute div winning almost everyone of his fights with a flying armbar and flying triangle....he did loose on points to Marco Feitosa aswell....

minor name correction... "Marcio", not "Marco"... Feitosa. (typo?)

Sorry duchman...

He didn't throw any kicks, and grappled WAY too well to
be dutch!

(I know, I know, not ALL dutch fighters are kickboxers...
but I had to give you little jab "dutchy"!)

Thanks for the info, guys. Whatever happened to this Gerson guy? He seemed to have nice skills, and i've never heard his name mentioned.
