TODAY is the Day! Will Royler Sign???

[StephenG]

It is now July 10th, the final day for Royler to sign onto the dream
superfight for the ADCC 2011 World Championships.

Will he sign?? Will he make everyone wait at least one more year??
Will he ever do the fight?? Folks I've got goosebumps and if this match
is signed, we may just be in for the most anticipated rematch in recent history.

What do you think (insert your name here)??

[Tony Toffolo]

that punk better

[Cody Kietzman]

Since when did they start signing for ADCC?... This is stupid (not you Stephen the situation is)

[Jesse Bell]

He's gonna back out... shame.

[Michael "Mikey" Bunten]

I wish he would sign, but he wont.

You know what they say. Wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one fills up first.

[Chris Leavelle]

No, cause his family will starve if he doesnt get 50k to show and another 25k to win...what a fucking JOKE

[joeln]

I could actually see his point to a small degree if ADCC was known for paying thei grapplers or negotiating contracts, but from everything that has been said; they don't. So what Royler is asking is ridiculous in the context, if he doesn't want to do it..just say it.

[Ron Almeida]

i dont think he will do it because he has the most to lose, that is why he wants to make it a big pay day just in case he loses again he still has some money to ease the pain.

he knows there is a great chance that eddie will win again and that will embarrass him.

if it does happen, my money is on eddie

Pride aside. Would you do it?
I know we are all itching for him to accept but honestly - would you do it?
At this point he at least has the "it was a fluke" thing going.
I think the fact is it's lose-lose for Royler.
If he wins he beats Eddie who has been nothing but humble and would accept the loss - losing no fans he would miss and probably displaying some sick 10th Planet skills while he does.
If Royler loses, he loses.
So as much as I'm shouting "Take the fight bitch" in my head, I can see why he wouldn't.

Royler has 10 times more fans than Eddie in the JJ community *conservative guestimate.* He should do it for his fans. Even my NoGi MMA coach, who is a 100% Royler fan over Eddie, says "I don't know what his deal is, he should just take the fight for free." The only reason I can see that is a legit one for him not to take the fight is if he believes that he has a higher % chance to lose than to win, but even then, he's a Gracie. He shouldn't back down at all to this. Plus it's not like it's an MMA fight where you know you'll get your nose broken.
