Do you ever sleep?

ttt for Miguel

Where's Royler?

no manny reyes!

*relieved*

nice to see Leo Santos and Sperry in the mix too!

Royler?

Instead of making a TTT, I thought I would make my own little wishlist of people that I would like to see in the 4 vacant spots (if there are any..)

 

-66kg: Royler, Pequeno and Rani Yarahya (sp?)

 

-77 kg: Matt Serra (I know that will be hard since Renzo is there already, but one can dream :), Milton Viera, Akira Kikuchi (from K'z Factory), Shaolin and Adriano Nasal

 

-88kg: Sanae Kikuta, Marcelo Ferreira (from ATT), Terrel,  Braulio Estima

 

-99kg: Paulo Filho (take him from +99kg, there is no way he weighs that much)

 

+99kg: Fabiano "Pega-Leve" Sherner (very technical blackbelt, that imo beat Gabriel Napao in the Br. qualifier), Fabricio Werdum

 

anyone has other ideas of who they want to ad?

Alberto Crane under66k

I imagine that they shoot for 16 in each of the male weight divisions, so there is room to hope that some of the other favorites mentioned will be added on later. In any case, the list looks good enough right now for me to want to be there to see it all!

I agree Smeagol

 

"The weird fact is Shooto super champion was elected the first of the ranking on his category by Abu Dhabi Combat Club".......

 

If you need Pequeno X Royller at next ADCC, help me send email to www.kidpel@yahoo.com  

they will listen MMA.TV Undreground Forum....

 

OSU....

""The weird fact is Shooto super champion was elected the first of the ranking on his category by Abu Dhabi Combat Club"....... "

 

what is so weird about that? Of all the others that has the first spot in ADCC´s ranking, not a single one is sofar on the list to fight in the ADCC grappling tournament.

I would also like to see Pequeno in ADCC, but I don´t think that implying there is some kind of conspiracy against Pequeno will help him to get in there.

Then again, why not just send him an invite now to shut him up? I'd like to see him there also.

TTT for Pequeno.

He should be in there...

77 - 87.99 KG #1 Saulo Ribeiro 2003 World Champion (Brazil) #2 Demian Maia Brazilian Qualifier (Brazil) #3 David Avellan (USA) #4 Marko Helen European Qualifier (Finland) #5 Hidemi Mihara Japanese Qualifier (Japan) #6 Larry Papadopoulos Australian Qualifier (Australia) #7 Robert Sulski (Poland) #8 Ronaldo 'Jacare' Souza (Brazil) #9 Dennis Hallman (USA) #10 Reese Andy (USA)

Why is there no North American Qualifier for this weight class?

It'd be incredible to see Eddie and Baret face eachother in the finals...

Hopefully the matchups will be announced soon.
