Jacare's name is notably absent, but other than that these are some incredible fields.  this will be a great event.

Thought Fedor was competing in this?

ohferfuxsakes -  no Roger Gracie either?


Roger is in a superfight with drysdale. He isn't doing his weight or absolute.

 Ben Askren! thats awesome

 Even the <60 kg Women's division is awesome.



Hillary, Kyra Grace, Megumi Fuji, and Ana Michelle Tavares.  Damn

 Even the <60 kg Women's division is awesome.

Awesome. I just wish they would ditch the superfight and put Roger and Drysdale in the normal divisions.

I noticed Maia is not competing which is dissapointing. I also thought it was interesting that Pe De Pano is competing in a weight division below his usual. I wonder how Saulo will do at heavy weight, he is fighting in a division 48lbs heavier than last time he competed in ADCC

There is only 1 Canadian on the list. Misha Cirkunov definetly deserves to be there....

damn 145 169 193

Edited because I quoted the wrong post like a dumbass. To the guy saying Maia isn't competing, look again...
Damian Maia, Brasil

"To the guy saying Maia isn't competing, look again"

Thanks, not sure how I missed that

Ecko Unltd -  Ben Askren! thats awesome

Go Rillary!

 Go Killary

ttt

Shame Romulo Barral isn't there.     

JDolo -  I see GSP wiping his ass with his division.  A GSP/Arksen match up would be cool to see GSP out wrestle a Olympic wrestler.


you really think he'll wipe his ass with marcelo, do some research before you start daydreaming. marcelo will floss his taint with GreasyP.

GSP will never beat Marcelo, much less beat bill cooper,popovich, or askren. plus you have milton vieira and Kron in the same div.
