looks like there will be 2 mats and the main broadcast. Should work on iphones/tablet (main feed only)



Really looking forward to the 88kg weigh class, especially with DJ potentially in the mix. DJ x Galvao could rival Rodolfo-Buchecha.

I will be there. Look for the giant grey blob in the background Phone Post

Ttt ill be watching Phone Post

Came here to see if this had been posted. Looking forward to it.

Anyone know if there are set brackets or how the matches are set up?

Isn't Oli Geddes going..? Phone Post

Just checked, he is. Last minute invite. Phone Post

Cool! Thanks for the heads up, didn't know it was today. Phone Post

Damn no more cobrinha?? Would have liked to see him possibly deal with both Lo's spider guard and his bullfighter passes Phone Post

We will be posting results on our Facebook and Twitter pages if you aren't able to watch.

wow Romulo is on a tear right now... killin this dude Phone Post

oli got subbed by lepri in first match

wow romulo made that look easy vs souza. up 9-2 and finished with an arm bar

Finals:

Light Feather:
Laercio Fernandes x Caio Terra



Light:
Leandro Lo x Lucas Lepri

Medium Heavy:
Andre Galvao x Romulo Barral

Ultra Heavy:
Tussa x Bruno Bastos

Galvao lost a decision to barral. Barral hit two beautiful spider guard sweeps.

Tussa did a gentlemans agreement with Bastos and they didn't have a match

Terra won on advantages if I remember right. Phone Post

videos?

Lo beat lepri by advantage also Phone Post

Better or worse than metamoris? Production wise, matches, etc? Phone Post

Who beat dj? Phone Post

Just reminded me of a normal budovideos HD stream tbh

Although I thought Rener was entertaining on the metamoris feed; I prefer Shawn Williams and jake.

Metamoris match format made for some more entertaining moments... I think future
it would be cool if IBJJF went with sub $$ bonuses in these "pro" formats for more guys going for the sub Phone Post
