As someone who used to train with and be very close to Hillary, I can assure you she doesn't have BJ Penn money... she is a PreMed student at UCA and during the summers she travels all over. She usually stays with friends in different cities and trains for free. Really doesn't take being rich to do when you have all the talent in the world (and she does.) If nothing else Hil will get a good idea of where she stands with the best. I'll be crossing my fingers for her...but I know she is still very young and has all the time in the world.
And for those who were wondering about the Fedor/combat Sambo thing...the UFC didn't want him competing because combat Sambo has strikes...whereas ADCC is relatively safe.

You can fill one of the wild card slots at -88 kgs, Gunnar Nelson of Mjölnir MMA in Iceland, currently training at Renzo's in NY has been confirmed as a contestant.
He's a true prodigy, 20 years old, been training seriously for about three years, and is a brown verging on black. Took gold in the Pan Ams, Silver at the Mundials, and Gold at the NAGC no-gi Advanced, outpoining Jorge Patino in the finals.
If he doesn't bomb out of ADCC (unfortunately he's fighting one weight division higher than usual due to -77 being full) and gets at least a win or two, I wouldn't be surprised if he got promoted to black on the spot. Dude is a total animal and a huge prospect for his age, and I´m not just saying that because he's a local boy. Renzo has gone on record saying this kid can go as far as he wants, both in BJJ and MMA.
