Like father, like daughter. At five years old, Aleia Aielle Aguilar has just followed the footsteps of her father Alvin Aguilar after becoming the Philippines’ youngest world champion in Jiu-jitsu.
Unaccompanied by her mother Maybelline Masuda during the fight itself, the youngest daughter of the country’s mixed martial arts founding father won over Vercosa via verbal submission to capture the gold in the kids’ 1 Under-16 kg event.
Prior to her championship campaign, Aguilar of Deftac-Ribeiro Jiu-jitsu Philippines defeated UAE’s Maria El Halabi, 6-0, in the semifinals. Her mother just watched Aguilar’s match at the far side, saying her finals opponent just tapped out after Aielle applied a heavy sprawl and her rival didn’t want to continue the fight. Aielle’s favorite move is the armbar.
