It really is. I'm glad they put Rader and Rafa on the other side of the brackets this time. 3 ADCCs in a row would just be fucked up. Rader has a chance to go further this way. I mean :anything can happen" but Rafa always destroys Rader. What's good news if you're a Rader fan is that Rader is a tough style match up for Baret Yoshida, and Rader's won before. If Rader can get by Tanquinho then he's an easy favorite to face Cobrinha in the semis.

That side of the 66k bracket is way more interesting. Rafa has an easy first 2 matches. Rafa vs Miyao would be very interesting. I'd like to see Ricardo Vieira beat Miyao but Miyao/Mendes is a more interesting match. My pick for the 66k finals is still Mendes/Cobrinha.

My picks too except for Keenan. Damn does Keenan have it rough or what? Clark as the 1st match, then Calasans? God damn son. Then if Keenan could somehow beat Calasans he's got either Romulo or Lucas Leite. Tough tough road but I hope he does good! I'd like to see a Popovitch/Lovato rematch on the other side. I'm actually going to pick Calasans for the 88k winner. Other than that we have the same picks.

I think we all agree Buchecha/Vinny will be insane.

For some reason I expect a lot of upsets. I feel like the only sure shots are Lister by heel hooking everyone and Rafa by being indestructible. Lotta dark horses this year.

Amir vs Vinny in second round would be interesting??

We should do college b-ball style brackets for this.

Amir vs. Vinny IF it happens will be epic. I remember watching them roll on one of the original MTS's... seemed like a good back and forth battle.

In terms of the other match-ups... I am ORDERING THIS EVENT... Clark Gracie vs. Keenan Cornelius in the first round! EPIC MATCH MAKING!
