Stoked for ADCC

[Tony Toffolo]

I know man. I'm confused and annoyed. Me and some friends had an ADCC fntasy draft. A sub is worth 1 point and each medal is worth a set amount of points. On Sunday the player whose team has the most points wins. Rader was one of my better sleeper picks on my team.

balls dude

i'm not particularly large fan of rader but he's a great grappler and i like to see guys, such as him, who have solid wrestling skills and can blend the two arts together well

Probably my favorite division, now no Rafa, Joao and Radar, boo

I really want to see Eddie Cummings vs. Jeff Glover. I trained with Jeff Glover a couple of weeks ago and his foot is disgusting he can pretty much bend it around and he says he has never been heel hooked and he trains with Dean Lister all the time. I think if Eddie Cummings could have a disadvantage because in ADCC points are a factor we have never really seen his positioning in a points tournament.

Brackets are up...or at least I've seen them. Not sure where it came from

Rader posted this on his FB page:

"This is by far the most difficult post I've ever had to make, but I wanted to address everyone personally, and be very real, and apologize. I was unable to make weight for ADCC. I could make many excuses, explain myself away, blame it on this and that, but I'm not going to do that. I'm going to own up to it, take responsibility, apologize, learn from this and move forward. I've misrepresented myself, my coaches, my team, my sponsors, and many more, and I apologize. This has unfortunately been a recurring theme for me this year, and I've now hit rock bottom with it. I've had some bad, drastic weight cuts this year, and I think this is fate's cruel way of showing me I just can't keep doing it to my body over and over. I need to take a step back for a while, regroup and reevaluate what I'm doing, be smarter about what I'm doing, listen to my coaches better, and give my body a break, and bring some balance back to my life and take some time for myself instead of jumping to the next thing too quickly to redeem myself. Words cannot express how bad I feel for the way it played out. I truly believed I could make it like I have done before, but I couldn't. I want to thank my coaches here for all their words of support through this. I'm not sure exactly what will be next for me, but this isn't the end either. When I'm ready, and both myself and all of my coaches feel it's time, I will be back, better than ever. Thank you to all those who continue to support me through this time. Now, it's time to focus on my teammates, and do all I can to help them.

-Rader"
