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.

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.

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:
Braulo Estima taps both Galvao and Garcia in the same tournament!!! If he beats Xande he'll be a fawking LEGEND!
Can't wait to see some of the matches!
Rafael Mendes just established himself as one of the best grapplers in the world, too. Mendes is going to be a legend. To submit Leozinho at his age is ridiculous
Braulio is definitely a legend. Just beat Xande to win Absoluto.
Also, Vinny Magalhaes is a f*cking story, too. The guy posted two bronze medals in his first appearance at ADCC. Not to mention, he probably would have been a silver medal if the brackets had been built a little differently.
Also, I'm sad about Marcelinho.
