Thanks Kyle, Brandon, Sam and others for the GP love! Much appreciated
To touch on Nick's point, Lovato Jr and Team Atos' respective camps were from what we can tell, the most organized. Alliance and Barra brought their armies, but Lovato Jr had everyone training hard together, with a guy in 4 of the 5 divisions division and I'm sure you've all seen their training camp vids, they've been on point thus far. Dopp is just game planning it up despite fighting superior guys (Amir and Vinny), Lovato has looked oh so crisp, and Rader is on a tear and after Cobrinha for that rematch. With Atos, they are always killing it, but their camp this year for ADCC was unreal - Mendes, Galvao, Calasans, JT, Jimmy Friedrich, Keenan, and Lister would show up a bit with his guys too. Thats insane training, plus their lower belt students, some of who are amazing (Liera Jr, etc) were pushing them everyday as they prepped for Nogi worlds coming up. Our editor in chief at Grapplers Planet, GP Gregg, was down in Cali last week and was training at Atos (along with Cobrinhas, Humaita SD, etc) and said those Atos dudes are straight monsters and were looking super ready to smash
