I agree

I definetly hope that someone from finland makes some stuff happen this year :)although i don't think that the under 66kg Div. would be the best. Sorry a bit OT

Nothing really comes close to -65.9kg division. It's stacked with monsters from top to bottom. I really hope Rodolfo Veira gets matched with Roger Gracie though.

Agreed. All divisions look tough though.

This is why we love jiu jitsu. I'm pulling for Glover. Maybe Denny can avenge the Yoshida loss.
