Keenan waited until the last minute to register to compete at Worlds. I am much older than Keenan but we were both Blue Belts when he was a kid in Hawaii. I think he was a Lightweight back then.
Keenan has never won Worlds and he is going to have a rough time at Heavyweight. Keenan competed in the Euros as a heavyweight but moved up to super for Pans.
Gracie Barra's Felipe Pena is going to be one of his toughest matches as Felipe is one of the best grapplers in the world.
I always like to watch Keenan. Keenan is a creative grappler, and an awesome instructor.
