ADCC 2009 competitors released...

[Drew Foster]

All the male divisons have 8 more people to fill the slots. I actually think Ryan Hall could win his division....


P.S. I copied and pasted this from the Atama forum at the UG

How soon is video/DVD released after the event??? Is it too late to get tickets?

I'm really excited for Hillary. I've trained with her, she's cool as hell, and has a sick game. She's only a purple too, which is even more impressive.

is that the same hillary thats been training in miami with cyborg lately? and she won I her division at the worlds? she is really good.

also, ryan might have a tough match with rani to win that division. but I agree he could win.
