ADCC Barcelona Preview

I figured this was an appropriate place to whore myself out.

I have a preview of the event up for those who are interested.

This is my first piece with profighting-fans, and I'll be covering grappling for them for a while. Hopefully it'll be a good gig, as I like talking about grappling.

I'll post a link to the results and writeup after the event, and hopefully have some video in that article.

Anybody in this forum ever compete in this tournament?
No. Not really interested in getting my ass kicked by Jeff Glover.

If you're not at least a brownbelt, and a seriously competitive brownbelt, it's probably a good idea to wait on the ADCC men's qualifiers, because most of the guys are blackbelts.

For those who want to follow the tournament, the results for the first day of ADCC Barcelona are up, and I've posted the brackets for tomorrow.

Performance of the day seems to go to Vinicius Magalhaes, who won his first match by heel hook and then shocked everybody by submitting Pe De Pano with a flying armbar in the second match.

Also, Marcelinho is tearing it up. Apparently he absolutely wrecked Kron Gracie in the second round with a front choke.

And Galvao had a war with Chris Weidman, who will be getting a lot of props from people.

Even though he lost miserably by the looks of it anyone else think its interesting that Ricco Rodriguez competed at under 218, especially with his talk of moving to LHW.
 
#38 ·
If Ricco wasn't such a lard-ass, he could probably make middleweight.

All due respect to the guy, he's a technically solid grappler, but he needs to get his conditioning and athleticism together.

Ok, I've been watching some results at adcombat.com, and:



Can't wait to see some of the matches!

Man, Werdum finally takes it, the guy has placed high for a while but never managed to take it home. Good to see Monson put on a good showing taking third though, he needed something after that horrible showing in his last fight.

ADCC Announces new North American Federation

ADCC fighters and fans,

It is official. The Abu Dhabi Combat Club has announced it's newest North American Federation:

http://www.adcombat.com/news/2010-10-04/adcc-announces-adcc-north-american-federation-members

We would like to try to bring back what we started in early 2009. In doing so, all of the ADULT EXPERT/PROFESSIONAL Regional winners in New Jersey, Las Vegas, Houston, Grand Rapids and Seattle will have invites to the 2011 North American Trials to take place around March on the West Coast. To that list we will add the winners of the November 20th show in Dallas and maybe one or two more shows before March. To find out more about the Dallas show log on to www.WorldGrapplingCircuit.com

Also on November 20th is the ADCC North American Championships in New Jersey. The Professional Adult winners of this competition will bypass the 2011 Trials and automatically have slots in the 2011 ADCC Worlds. To find out more about that competition, log on tohttp://www.adccna.com/

We really hope for great new things from ADCC and look to make North America the strongest and largest ADCC Federation. A lot more information to follow.

Please also pass this to as many people as you can to get ADCC going strong again.

Thank you,

Brett Boyce
Vice-President ADCC North America
