Carlson Gracie Video Interview 1987
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-b6A8fX34o
Here is an interesting video interview with Carlson Gracie, posted on youtube.com June 11, 2009 by lcvalois (who is probably one of the fighters, Luis Carlos Valois) talking about two competitions. The fighters with Carlson are:
Marvin Amaury Bitetti Holden Flag Sergio Bolão Souza Penão Alberto Santos Luis Roberto "Bebeo" Duarte Carlson Gracie Junior Luis Carlos Valois Jair Mucelin Sergio Abhimed Isaias Silva
As Carlson mentioned in the interview, Bolão won his own weight and also absoluto, and garnered two trophies for best fighter, defeating John Machado and Castelo Branco, among others. Carlson was talking about two different competitions, one was in Niteroi, the other was The Brasileiro. A few of these names are well known today, 22 years later--Bolão, Carlson Jr., Amaury Bitetti, Luis Roberto Duarte (better known as Bebeo, leader of BTT). The rest have followed a different road.

Thanks to Sergio Bolão for remembering the names.
