Looks like we're gonna get Xande vs Hector Lombard in the quarter finals of the -99 kilos division! Get em, Xande!
Fingers crossed for Cobrinha and Eddie Cummins meeting up in the semis. That would be really interesting.
76KG bracket is stupid as is 66KG
But all well be the best you have to be the best. Doesn't look like they did seeding really. Tonon has a monumental task ahead. He'll have to beat Danis, Lepri, Sousa, and Burns/Ramos to win. If he pulls it off that would be one of the best streaks ever.
He's not beating tanquinho.
Also Cobrinha will have a 2nd rd bye. Gurgle & Jacare will force Grippo to bow out

I just noticed Rafa is out... what happened to him?
I have never seen a competitor bow out at ADCC, ever. I've seen worked matches here and there, but I don't think you're allowed to bow out. I mean I guess I don't see how they could force you to step on the mats, but you would certainly never be invited back, ever. They really pride themselves on not allowing close outs and punishing any type of close-out or bow-out or worked match behavior.
You really think they won't just have the match? I mean why even have him fly out there? Certainly everyone knows by now that ADCC always makes teammates fight in the 1st or 2nd round, at the latest, right?
Dillon is gonna get taken out 1st round. MG guys got a bad draw.

I just don't see any way that Cobrinha & Gianni fight. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gianna pull out of his 2nd match with an "injury".
I really hope I'm wrong though
Might just tank the match, like Serra did for Feitosa, Feitosa did for Renzo, Matt Hughes did with Jeremy Horn, Pe de Pano did with JJM, etc. etc.
