Ryan fought at 74k instead of 65k so he wouldn't have to cut weight as he flew in. He faced Durinho from Atos (2010 No-Gi Worlds Middleweight champ) in the first match and lost. In the Absolute he got a Triangle win early on against Rafael Bezerra and lost in the second round to (I believe) Antonio Brago Neta.Quote:

My picks for tomorrow:
Absolute: tough call but Rodolfo Vieira (GFT)
65k: Gui Mendes (Atos)
74k: Rodrigo Caporal (Atos)
83k: I don't know about either competitor really so I flipped a coin for Jim Harbison (Lloyd Irvin)
-92k: Rodolfo Vieira (GFT)
+92k: Xande Ribeiro (Humaita)
Rodolfo is going to be coming hard for Roger Gracie at the Worlds this year.
I heart Xande.
