just wondering

I have heard Fedor, Marcelo Garcia, Arona and Mousasi are competing
Does anyone have the brazilian (and american if they have happened yet) trial results?
Anyone know if Einamo and Roger are competing?
Fedor is out I think.
ah yes, when are the trials, also
fedor is/was supposed to be competing? seriously?

I hope roger is competing this year

What happened to Milton Vieira?

Got mixed up with Ewerton, the black kyoshin fighter
Wow congrats to Glover, he is the man and has a great future. great stuff!!!!!
-99kg Nakamura Kazuhiro
That's the Yoshida dojo guy that got KO'd by Wandy and Jorge Santiago, right? He doesn't look that great a grappler in MMA, but I guess he's got skills.
Why is it there are almost no repeat winners from Japan?
Prik Khee Noo - -99kg Nakamura Kazuhiro

Well, he has VERY good Judo and sub defense.
Not sure about the lack of repeat winners. Maybe its because so many of the elite Japanese grapplers are focused on MMA at the moment.
TTT for Glover Teixeira...
