Just saw a picture of Saulo on Metamoris's Instagram.
Anyone in the know confirm?
Replacing Sonnen?
His always been on the card.
Yeah, he's facing Comprido
Saulo vs. Comprido... old schoolers match.
How many world titles between these guys?!
Ryan Prouty -Saulo has 5 world titles in the gi, one in no gi, and 4 in masters and seniors division, and it says Comprido has 9 world championships, with 2 of those being absolute.

That's gotta more titles than any other matches... Pretty cool!
Comprido is amazing and I'm really looking forward to this match, but Comprido did not win 9 world championships at black belt. The only guys to win 5 or more Mundial golds are Marcelo, Saulo, Xande, Roger, Robson Moura, Bruno Malfacine, Rodolfo and Buchecha.
Tio Te -You are correct! My mistake, he won two world titles at black belt in 99 and 2000. I got the info from here at first but obviously read it wrong.

No problem. Comprido is definitely top level. This is going to be an amazingly technical match. I'm much more interested in seeing Comprido/Saulo than Sonnen/Galvo.
