Oliver Taza is a Lebanese-Canadian professional Jiu jitsu fighter who has soared to new heights as of late.
Just last weekend Oliver Taza had a fantastic match against 10th planet black belt Ben Eddy. You can read about that match and Oliver Taza’s rise to the top of the Jiu jitsu world here:
Last night Oliver Taza competed once again, this time on the Enigma Jiu Jitsu stage.
Oliver faced off against tough black belt Shawn Melanson. Taza was able to dominate the match getting the same takedown twice, passing the guard, and locking up a tarekoplata submission. Shawn Melason was able to defend the submission by rolling through to relieve the pressure, but Taza was able to sweep Shawn and take top position to get the finish.
