Dillon Danis brown belt middle watch out Phone Post 3.0

10

gui and buchecha are the safest picks imo. laercio may not get past ari. leve most stacked, medio pesado close second. holy shit at a galvao estima rematch after all these years!!!!!!! its gonna happen Phone Post 3.0

11

Buchecha is a BB under Cavaca, so don't look for a real match if they both make it to the finals.

Barral will lose due to general injury/weakened state.

Tanquinho to beat Cobrinha.

Calasans will beat Clark.

Your upsets won't happen.

Otherwise, I'm generally in agreement.

Don't sleep on my boy Abmar...

Laercio beat Ary last year and Ary hasn't competed since, while Laercio has made the finals of the last 2 events he's done (pans and Europe), winning one and barely losing the other.

Braulio was coming back after a knee injury in 08, Galvao crushed that field that year, might be different this year. Phone Post 3.0
