Or Postponed? I heard the rumor postponed… Is there an official statement by anyone? Is there anyone that can’t make a statement that is allowed to say at least that they know what’s going on with the thing? … Some of us are trying to make plans you know :)
It's offically postponed, no new date has been set, there's a thread I started on here about it, Master Eddie confirmed but stated he could not comment at that time about it.
If metamoris gets officially cancelled Imma have to start a fucking 'kickstarter fund' to make this fight happen haha :)
Yes!!! For feal!Quote:

I got a backyard, a grill and beer. We'll get a pit and some Alligators to make shit interesting. Let's do this shit!Quote:

Yeah but can you imagine Royler getting Alligator rolled by an actual fucking Alligator?! Bet you $20 Eddie Bravo says God Dayyyum when that shit happens....I am loaded as fuck.
haha put the gators on chains in a circle around their mats so they are snapping at the edges. Fucking Walking Dead style deathmatch with alligators haha :)
To be honest a kickstarter fund is an amazing idea if the funding has been pulled for Metamoris.
Kickstart fund M3, big success, funders come back
I think the costs far outweigh the returns with Metamoris though. The production costs, competitors fees, all that bullshit they send out like those fucking 'invitational belts' etc LOL. Fucking sending them to guys like Ariel Helwani LOL FFS Ariel doesn't give the slightest shit about Metamoris or jiu jitsu. Just stop wasting money on unnecessary shit.Quote:

That is the match EVERYBODY wants to see. We can see high level mma guys go against high level grapplers like the Aoki vs Gracie match at adcc or whatever.
I just don't see jiu jitsu ever becoming a spectator sport, hence why competitors will always have to pay quite a bit of money to compete. But there is that 1 match that would sell big numbers. Bravo vs Gracie 2. :)
But kickstarter doesn't have sport section though.
Didnt Eddie do something like that the last time they were supposed to meet and they gave him crap for it?
Doesn't it have an "art" or "entertainment" section? Put Dona from hq on this shit she is the organizer. There has to be somebody out there in the right place with the right connections who can make this happen. Rose maybe? She for sure knows how to organize a grappling event and she is connected to both of them.Quote:

No need to get out your paypal accounts for a kickstarter just yet.
You're right its all rumors and speculation but its still very plausible if the investors aren't jiu jitsu guys and the last two events didn't get them in the black and they seen how shitty the Schaub fight was... The point is if Metamoris can't get there shit together the money is there all it would take is somebody in the right place willing to make it happen.Quote:

My instructor said he asked his instructors, who used to live and train in Brazil with the Gracies, about this match and they said
"Yeah.. It's not going to happen." They didn't give him any detail other than that and they are usually on top of things with the gracies since they have a direct lineage. I wish we could know why this match could be put on postponement or cancelled period :(
Wow, so much potential. This could have been the biggest fight in jiu jitsu history. If this is true, then damn
Hope it is not cancelled. I want to see Eddie Smash Royler from the stands at the show.
Fucking Schaub...Quote:

I know he's 6'5''. I know he is 255 lbs, I know I am 5'10'' and only 185, but I want to punch the son of the bitch right in the face!Quote:
