And Guess who beat Garcia!!

Sweet! Just checking this before I go to a seminar by Leao Teixeira. Go Barra.

Try and find out how Felipe is doing!

he looks 2x the size of Garcia

Black belt weight classes fight later today, I think.

Roger is like 6'5" or so now.

Garcia looks around 5'5-6". Roger's a foot taller and around 40kg heavier (Garcia fights at 65, Roger, last I heard, was 102). No doubt about it, Garcia is awesome just being able to score on Roger. And take his back too! (Having rolled with Roger, I cannot even conceive of someone Garcia's size doing this.)

But- at the end of the way, a win is a win. :-)

If anyone can help me fill in the missing info on the brackets (developed using OTM and Tatame info) it would be appreciated.
