The brackets the threadstarter posted are the no-gi brackets.

Wow. Rafael Mendes is a fucking monster. They delayed all of hs fights today so the Shiek could watch them. He made it to finals of the Absolute and is fighting Roldolfo Vieira tomorrow!

Just look at the Absolute bracket!

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.

For sure. Rafa already did an exhibition today against Ary Farias and Ed Ramos. He won both matches on points. I don't think the Atos guys are going to sub each other, and I actually expect Rafa and Gui to decide for Gui to come out on top tomorrow.

Atos had 5 guys in the 65k division: Rafa Mendes, Gui Mendes, Bruno Frazzatto, Ary Farias, and Ed Ramos.

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.
