It's that time!
I'll be there live both days drinking, cheering on teammates/competitors and generally being a menace. Will post updates on here whenever I can.

Until we get the brackets tomorrow, give me your top 3 for each division! Ideally i'll update the OP with the bracketing and we can get to the bottom of all of this.​

 

[Da Speeit]

Who I see as the top 3 in each division

66: Pato, Olivarez, Crelinsten
77: Dorsey, Leon, Galvao
88: Bodoni, Michell...gonna punt on the third til I see the bracket. I could go a million different ways
99: Meregali, Kaynan, Pixley
99+: Griffith, Pena, Big Dan

W55: Bastos, Fornarino (Daddy), Basilio
W65: BSM, Crevar, Black
W65+: CAMPO, Reusing, Blackman

Sad, thought this was an update thread for their concerts.

 

[shunyata]

Make another one CJI and sticky them both at least for the next week.

 

[Smato_rules]

I don’t know enough about all the competitors to give top 3 for each division, but I will admit Gordon sounds like shit in his interviews. I think Felipe is going to take their match

Felipe, when he’s on, is a motherfucker. He’s just been so up and down performance wise lately and I think years of PED use is catching up with the both of them

 

[Knock Out Ned]

Awesome, I miss the old days when this place would come alive for World’s and ADCC.

-66: Pato, Olivarez, and I can’t pick a third.

This division is too stacked. I think Sousa, Reis, Andrey, or Maciel could had a stellar weekend.

Winner: Pato


-77: Galvão, Gracie, and Leon

Winner: Galvão

-88: Bodoni, Michell, and Couch

Winner: Bodoni

-99: Meregali, Duarte, can’t pick a third

Winner: Meregali

+99: Griffith, Pena, and Big Dan

Winner: Griffith

Is this where we discuss CJI or do I need to make my own thread for that?

Isn't Crevar like 17? Her ADCC USA trials came up in my youtube feed and looked like she steamrolled everyone enroute to winning that. Do you think she wins this and would she have a chance against Ffion if she wasn't doing CJI?

Media - The Craig Jones Invitational is Live and Free on YouTube, August 16th and 17th.

I'm pretty stoked to check this out sometime this weekend. There's some really good matchups on deck. Craig Jones launched the CJI as a way to push back at ADCC for failing to increase athlete pay in the 20+ years since their tournament first started. In the most recent ADCC event, over...

She has a chance against any woman. She’s 100% on PEDs and has a weird thing going on with her family. This is her life. She’s going to podium.

I would favor Ffion in a match though

 

[ChickenBrother]

OK I'm a little slow on the uptake and I don't follow pure grappling as closely as MMA and wrestling, but I just now realized Gordon Ryan is having TWO superfights this ADCC against BOTH Yuri Simoes and Felipe Pena. LMAO. Are these supposed to take place on the same day back to back, or one on the 17th and the other the next day? Either way this will be some crazy bragging rights for Ryan if he pulls this off.

He’s a heavy favorite in both. The Felipe one is personal, Yuri is business.

Gordo prob soft retires after this

i don't think he's gonna have any problems with either one of them, to be honest.

pena is awesome, but ryan has surpassed him by now. yuri, as good as he is, simply isn't on his level.

i'll be rooting aginst gordon in both, but i predict he wins both by sub and makes it look easy.

Any of these guys D1ers?

Bsm was just gifted a decision

Bsm was just gifted a decision

Nah she dominated the match as a whole. If you go to OT they’re clear that they judge the match as a whole
