Brackets are up!!!!
http://www.adcombat.com/adcc-worlds-...rting-brackets
If (WHEN),when Amir beats Dopp. He's most likely facing Vinny :( in the second round. I wish that would have happened later in the tournament.
The +99kg division is so stacked. Killers everywhere you look.
My picks-
Rafa Mendes
Kron Gracie
Rafael Lovato Jr.
Leo Noguiera
Buchecha
M.Nicolini
G.Garcia
Rafa
Kron
Keenan
Lister
Vinny
M.Nicolini
Penny Thomas
Justin Rader vs. Augusto Mendes (current world champion) in the first round is going to be a great match.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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!
YESQuote:

Antwain Britt got this locked up, wooooooooo!!!!!
Wut?
Rafa
Kron
Keenan
Lister
Vinny
Estima
Gurgel
I don't think Keenan will win it, buy I like to pick one sleeper
I really really want to see Rafa do the absolute this year and want to see him face Tanq in the 66 final but Cobrinha will probably be there
Other matches I want to see
Rafa vs Miyao
Vinny vs Buchecha final
Pablo vs Rustum
I did a breakdown for Grapplers Planet. Vinny and Amir are both mentioned in their own categories of relevance. Lemme know what you think! http://grapplersplanet.com/adcc-2013-breakdown-part-2/
I agree with your breakdown... I see Vinny as the favorite (for obvious reasons) and I agree that Amir is a Darkhorse/Game changer that can ride in and fuck everything up :)Quote:

What times this getting going? If im paying 60 bucks I dont wanna miss ANY
Ricardo Viera
Leo Viera
Rafael Lovato Jr
Leonardo Noguiera
Marcus Almeida
If Buchecha and Amir go head to head, the world might split in half!
If Amir can get though his first opponent, Vinny, and Buchecha... we should all fund a parade in his honor!
Who's picking who for the super fights?
I personally would love to see Galvao pull out the W but Estima really seems to have his number.
Picking Gurgel over Sperry but if the ADCC had any sense they'll let Mario do commentary over the fight on the DVD release.
