I'd heard rumors too that he would be in this one, but with his professor in the brackets I wonder if it makes sense.

I'm so damn excited. EBI is emerging as the premier event in grappling. I couldn't be happier for Eddie and 10p. EBI6 is going to be a whopper!
I'm pumped also! I've watched every EBI either the day of or as soon as they became available (1 and 2) but I don't think you can be too hard on people that are just getting on board. Eddie played it smart by building it slowly, and there really haven't been very many big names so far. Which is cool. But Miyao, Glover, Cooper, Tonon, and to some extent Cummings and Geo have probably been the biggest names that people that aren't hardcore into 10p would know so far.
Andre Galvao and Vinny Maglhaes are huge additions. So many casual fans will check for EBI 6 because of Galvao. I'm sure there are more big names too that aren't announced.

Can't stress that enough. I've talked to 3 or 4 people already that have never gone out of their way to order an EBI live that have told me they're for sure ordering EBI 6. The guy is the p4p best no-gi grappler on earth right now and is going to draw some numbers. Really stoked for Eddie and 10p for locking him down (no pun intended).
