just got off the phone with justin murray. some results here they come
jamie ballard won his division, 2 matches, both subs
justin murray won his division, 2 matches
nick bova won his division.
steve oliver lost to anthony perosh in the 1st rd, persosh won that division
in the absolutes nick bova lost to elvis around 5mins by kimura, and justin murray beat chris shen in the first rd by points to advance to the finals with elvis
in the finals justin took elvis down early with double underhooks trip takedown, but was quicky subbed with a triangle once on the ground.
all in all, it was a pretty small turnout, a lot of the big names didnt compete such as rodney ellis, larry papadopolous. plus bruno and paulo boycotted the event, which was a little disappointing.
it will be interesting next year when the real thing rolls around.
"yeh the king pwned me good, its so hard to hate him when he's such a nice guy though. ;-p"
Well I'm gonna work on being an ass... I can't think of anything worse than being called nice... ;)
Well done today. It great to see guys who are willing to get on the mat and push the limit. That's what will make the sport grow and help everyone improve.
I would have liked to have seem more of the ADCC matches, but alas I was involved in helping run the AGC event. Those that competed were some very talented grapplers.
Oh yeah, I heard Mark Hunt was there. Not sure how you miss someone like Mark, but I managed to. I was hoping to meet him (I always seem to miss him when he's around).
