ADCC / Gracie / Chael Sonnen compete this weekend

Legit, this is the first I have heard of ADCC being this weekend. I remember when it use to be a pretty big deal.

zackthewop - Also I'm assuming is Nick Ryan competing at 66kg?

Just saw that he’s filling in for someone

Chael competing in ADCC is a joke. 

Sonnen competing most anywhere is a joke If he and Michael Bisping were to compete in a non grappling/striking only match, no one would get knocked out!

How does this tournament make money? I'm sure Jake Sheilds and Justin Rader and Vagner Rocha aren't gonna be grappling for free? It doesn't sound like a PPV event. Are they drawing that many people at the gate that they can pay all these guys, have tournament prizes, and make money??

Read up in the history of the ADCC... lol Sheiks don't need to make a few bucks off of a grappling tournament.

Weighed in at 134lbs. By far the smallest guy there 

Shitty marketing here in Finland. I heard about this event on Chael’s podcast this morning… If i would have know earlier, i would have go for sure.

Shit starts at 4am on the east coast

If they’re still looking for opponents for Gabi I know a lady I used to work with that might be game. She’s perfectly over weight and over the hill…

Still not sure she is qualified. Is she under 5'5" and a grandmother?

Are we gonna see Jon Jones dominate ADCC soon?

Who beats him in this field?

hope gabi garcia wins again

Haha that's what I was thinking.

Since when is ADCC concerned with being profitable?

RepsOne -

Craig Jones should be in 88kg.

2 submissions later.......

In jiu-jitsu. In mma obviously he can't even touch Jon. He'd cry worse than when Roger Gracie choked him out.

I was half joking. But I think he's a handful no-gi for most of the division.

Ohhh man, you got me so good. 

... Chael won. 

But please go ahead and start back tracking about how your original post was a ruse.

Yeah, why would it be a joke? He's obviously a very competent grappler. Lots of MMA wrestlers have done well throughout the history of ADCC.

Stainlesssteel, the Shiek went to college in Sa Diego and fell in love with BJJ. He has funded all these because of his love of the sport and pays the athletes. It’s a labor of love from a really really rich family.
