Yup. I'm done with absolutes as well. Little things like a double under pass can crack a rib outta nowhere.

First time ever I was told I was not allowed to compete in an absolute last week (for an upcoming comp I registered for) - I was told lightweight and under excluded... kind of shocked me seeing as BJJ developed for the little guys to tackle the big guys, but I guess it is to protect competitors from themselves.
It would be cool to see IBJJF do a light and heavy absolute. 181 and under, 182 and over.
That way we could salivate at Caio, Lo, Pena, Rafa, etc all going at each other.
