Allan Góes
Allan Góes (born April 20, 1971)[citation needed] is a Brazilian 7th-Degree Coral Belt and Master of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as well as a retired mixed martial artist. The protégé of Grandmaster Carlson Gracie Sr, Góes is an eight-time Brazilian National Jiu-Jitsu Champion and one of the early pioneers to transition Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu into the realm of mixed martial arts.
He began his professional MMA career in the mid-1990s and gained international recognition for his appearances in organizations such as PRIDE Fighting Championships, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and the International Fight League (IFL). Known for his technical grappling and aggressive guard game, Góes fought several notable opponents, including Frank Shamrock, Dan Henderson, Daniel Gracie, and Kazushi Sakuraba.
Góes was instrumental in introducing high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques to early MMA audiences and played a key role in the sport’s evolution. He retired from active competition after representing the Seattle Tiger Sharks in the International Fight League (IFL).
Góes started practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the age of 7 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with his grandfather Alcides Góes, judo master. When he was 12 he was taken to the Carlson Gracie Team and fell in love with the sport embracing jiu-jitsu as a profession, totally dedicating himself to the "Gentle Art". He also trained kickboxing, and got a black belt in judo.
At the age of 18, he got his black belt from the hands of Carlson Gracie. At 19, after achieving World Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champion 8 times he then moved to the United States to become a professional MMA Fighter. In the year of 2000, Góes helped create a new team with his old team partners, called Brazilian Top Team.
Góes had his MMA debut for Japanese Pancrase promotion, taking on Frank Shamrock in 1995. Allan scored the first takedown, which Frank followed with one of his own, but the Brazilian threatened him twice with Kimura attempts from the bottom and also threw ground and pound after taking from top position. The shoot wrestler answered sweeping him and clamping an ankle lock, but Góes reversed into a rear naked choke. It marked a controversial instance, as Góes refused to release the hold when Frank utilized a rope escape as by Pancrase's rules, and he gained a yellow card from the referee; moreover, according to Shamrock, Góes eye-gouged him without the referee noticing in order to secure the choke. As the match continued, Shamrock continued utilizing ankle locks and heel hooks, badly dislocating Góes's ankle and making him spend his own rope escape. The Brazilian ended the match taking Frank's back, but the bout was ruled a draw by points.
Allan followed his debut participating in several MMA events in United States from 1995 to 1997, beating Anthony Macias by TKO and submitting Todd Bjornethun by triangle choke. He entered Ultimate Fighting Championship in its UFC 17 tournament in an attempt to challenge for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship held by Frank Shamrock, firstly facing fellow challenger Dan Henderson.
The Brazilian opened the match dropping Henderson down with a punch, but Henderson countered with a heel hook attempt, and later started landing effective ground and pound through Góes's guard, bloodying his nose. The match ended with Henderson scoring several punches at the overtime, gaining a unanimous decision over the Brazilian fighter. However, controversy arose about the end of the main round, when the referee John McCarthy stopped Góes from locking a rear naked choke after an illegal kick to a downed Henderson. Góes went to claim in an interview that Henderson was passing out in his hold when the referee broke it, and protested about the application of the rules.
