My predictions: Rafael Mendes -65.9kg if I had a second choice: "Cobrinha"
Marcelo Garcia -87.9kg LOCK
Pablo Popovitch -87.9kg second choice: Andre Galvao
Joao Assis -98.9kg second choice:Xande Ribeiro
Vinny Magalhaes +99kg Second choice: Werdum

Super Fights: Sperry wins & Braulio Estima wins

Damn I was hoping you actually had the brackets and not just the confirmed invite list.

Apparently, Galvao is having problems getting into the country. I hope he makes it. This will happen to a couple others no doubt.

I have:

65k Rafa Mendes
76k Marcelo Garcia (but Claudio Calasans will give him a good match if they meet up, and I think they will)
87k Andre Galvao (if he gets to London. If not, Pablo Popovitch)
98k Rodolfo Vieira
99+ Cyborg Abreu (I'm gonna take a chance here)

that's a shame for Denny he looks like he would've had a really fun division!!

Yeah, me too :D

I hate that Denny, Drysdale and Roger are out.... Completely understand that injuries are a huge part of the game but damn....

Had a private last week with Cam Rowe (aus) , and Dave Hart (aus), those guys are truly epic!

Sorry, I just copied what they had down. They worded it "Brackets". No official brackets yet. It will be interesting to see where everybody will be seeded!

Pre-Order the event from BudoVideos for $24.95. If you wait it will $30.

This shit is gonna be bananas!

This is what i'd like to see.....

Seriously. I was really hoping Denny would shock the world. Even if he didn't take the gold, it would've been awesome just to see him place.

Damn I have questions though. What's the time zone difference? If I pay for the payperview but I'm not available to watch it live, will I have access to the replays?

AWWWWW Shit. Getting cable internet installed tomorrow just in time to park my ass in front of the computer all day Saturday. That's how I roll.

With this being in England, what time is coverage starting Sat/Sun stateside?

Rooting for Jeff Glover and Rosi Sexton to win their respective divisions. Two honorary scousers!

Official Brackets now up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Brandon!:D I couldn't figure out how to copy them!

So, if I've got this straight, Nicolas Renier is the guy who ultimately filled in for Denny, meaning Denny would have faced Barret Yoshida in his first match.

ADCC 2011 brackets released; Blog editor’s analysis

Leave a comment!

The organizers of ADCC 2011 have just released the brackets for all the divisions of the submission wrestling tournament to unfold this weekend in Nottingham, England.

Check out who faces who below and the take of Ivan Trindade, the editor of the GRACIEMAG at the ADCC Blog.

And don’t forget to stop by the GRACIEMAG at the ADCC Blog for further coverage of ADCC 2011.


Under-66kg: In the upper part of the bracket, current champ Rafael Mendes will face his teammate Bruno Frazatto right off the bat. Robson Moura takes on Gregor Forsel. Also in the upper part of the bracket, Justin Rader and Ryan Hall are the two more favorites to earn berths in the quarterfinals. Below, Cobrinha debuts against David Marinakis. Baret Yoshida, Jeff Glover and Rani Yahya are also likely to make it through to the next stage. Two semifinals without surprises: Rafael Mendes vs. Robson Moura and Cobrinha vs. Rani Yahya.

Under 77kg: Marcelo Garcia takes on Davis Hart first and to make it to the final could have to go through Victor Estima, then Murilo Santana or Jorge Britto, and then probably face Kron Gracie in the semifinal. At the other end of the bracket, Claudio Calasans Jr. should meet the winner of Vagner Rocha-Tanquinho in one of the quarterfinals. Leo Vieira is the favorite to make it through to the other quarterfinal against JT Torres or Clark Gracie. Semifinal with no surprises? Marcelo Garcia vs. Kron Gracie and Claudio Calasans vs. JT (although Leo making it to the semifinal couldn’t be called an upset).

Under 88kg: Very evenly matched division, with Toquinho, David Avellan, Lovato and Rômulo all in the upper bracket as favorites to make it to the two quarterfinals. Below, Popovitch, Sérgio Moraes, Galvão and Gunnar Nelson are good picks to make it to round out the quarterfinals. Honestly, predicting the semifinals in this division is a tough call. From the quarters on up, only full-on beasts will be facing off. A prediction for the final? Lovato vs. Popovich; but who could rule out the possibility of Galvão vs. Rômulo or Sérgio vs. Toquinho?

Under 99kg: After some theoretically smoother opening matches, if they win, Xande Ribeiro and Lúcio Lagarto will face off in the quarterfinals. The same goes for Braga Neto and João Assis. In the lower bracket, Rodolfo Vieira makes his ADCC debut against Joseph Lee Baize and, if he wins, should have Antônio Peinado to contend with. Radk Turek, James Brasco, Dean Lister and Augusto Ferrari in a war without favorites for spots in the semifinals. Dream final? Xande vs. Rodolfo.

Over 99kg: Two-time champion of the event Fabricio Werdum opens against hard-to-handle Alexander Trans, who dominated the Jiu-Jitsu brown belt division in 2011. Then, he could meet up with Jeff Monson, Roberto Cyborg and Glover Teixeira on the way to the final. No cake walk. The lower bracket is clearly smoother sailing: Vinicius Magalhães should meet up with Bruno Bastos in the quarterfinals, while the revelation of ADCC 2009 Gerardi Rinaldi is the favorite to take a spot in the semifinals against Mick Wilson, Janne-Pekka or Rodrigo Artilheiro.

Under 60kg: Barring surprises, Luanna Alzuguir vs. Michelle Nicolini should be one of the semifinals. Kyra Gracie should await the winner between Hashi Takayo and Rosi Sexton, two unknown entities at this point. Prediction for the final? Luanna vs. Kyra.

Over 60kg: Gabrielle Garcia is the favorite for a place in the semifinal, but predicting who she’ll face is no easy talk. Penny Thomas and Talita Nogueira will repeat the medium heavyweight final from the 2011 Jiu-Jitsu World Championship, which Talita won by a narrow margin. In the bottom bracket, Hannette Staack is the firm favorite against Fiona Muxlow, Katrina Weilbacher and Ida Hansson, to make it through to the final. Prediction for final? Gabi vs. Hannette.
