ttt for nasty nate
Fletch-Those were just guesses I made about the weight classes. Alot of the bigger guys can be in the 88-98 KG or 99+ KG. You guys have pretty much confirmed Nate at 88-98 (as did Miguel, and he should know:) But Vera and Eliot Marshall can make 98KG too so they might be in that class too. if they all are (which I think they will be), that is a stacked class. Jamal Patterson, Eliot Marshall, Nate, Rick Migliarese, Vera, the guy who won the Canadian trials. Good class.
Njoness-Alot of the ATT guys are Brazilian. They were pretty strict about the Americans doing the American trials and the Brazilians doing the Brazilian trials. Someone emailed me today and said Wade was out too so the Hwt class should be wide open.
Nice names on it! Tough to call. 66kg could be
Vasquez, Crane, Teo or even Glover. 77kg I wont risk,
but Earl is very good. 88kg I will have to go with
Avellan. 99kg I dont know many of them (sorry!) and
99kg and over my buddy Wade Rome. Nice tourny tough.
Hey P, whats up? Is Wade competing? I heard he isn't going.
Wade is out - we could not risk putting his 385 lbs on one of those small planes!
Seriously, FLA is a mess right now, and he has a lot to clean up, catch up and attend to!
Wow, like Miguel know anything about this damn tournament. People, do not get foolled, he has no idea of what is going on. The true person that knows it all is Steve Quadros.
He told me that Fedor wins the light weight, Parrumpinha the 99kg+ and that Wade might enter the 87kg div.
This should be a great event.
