I hope it gets there so bad. If we actually end up with brackets that compare to ADCC brackets that would be so fucking awesome. I think we will eventually, because honestly 50k is 10k higher than the current prize for winning the ADCC Absolute, so the big name I'm absolutely positive are going to be interested from here on. Eddie is so awesome for taking his time on this thing and putting money back into it instead of trying to just keep all the profits.
I'm the first to say that there are some small things here and there that I disagree with Eddie Bravo on, but god damn how can ANYONE deny his absolute passion for jiu-jitsu and trying to grow it as much as possible. He deserves massive hespect!

Are the rules still the same with only getting money if you get the tap?
Yeah only money for the subs you got...if you win the whole thing. This will be really interesting. Without going into way too many nerdy details, Galvao is one of the only top 5 ADCC grapplers ever to have as low of a submission rate as he does. Most people that are good finishers are good finishers in gi or no-gi. Galvao is one of the few that in my opinion is one of the best gi finishers out there, but without the gi maybe isn't quite as sharp. He's the only one out of the 3 people to win his weight and the absolute as ADCC to have less than a 75% submission rate (he had 25%). Then again he hasn't been allowed to do anything other than the big superfight at ADCC the last 2 times and he did get his revenge and submitted Braulio Estima a couple years ago which is insane. So maybe his no-gi subs are stronger now.
The overtime format really favors him since being a backpack is his #1 focus.

That would be fucking crazy! After his heart condition at ADCC we need a proper Cyborg/Galvao no-gi match!
