Diaz bros compteteing in no gi worlds

Wow, checked out the list. Good amount of names.

Something that stood out to me is Denny prokopos competing as a black belt for the first time. Let's see how he does
also lovato should do well as long as braulio isn't there to be his kryptonite

Daniel Moraes is returning champ at MW, and his no-gi game is wicked. best of luck to Diaz, but I'm thinking Daniel takes it again.

Isn't Nate still a brown belt?

oh yeah, i guess you're right. not sure why I was thinking he was a black belt... maybe it's because he was number 2 on the Top 10 BJJ list someone posted up a few days back, lol

Didn't Popovitch defeat Moraes in the finals? Or im thinking about another year?

[Lou01]

middleweight black division looking like the best division to watch really interesting but im thinking Lucas Leites is taking it !!

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of 2007 with the "contraversial takedown"


last year Daniel won the No-Gi Mundials in impressive fashion. Didn't give up a single point or advantage, submitted Bill Cooper in the first round, and beat Lucas Lepri in the finals

Mikey Gomez, my first Jiu Jitsu Instructor, is fighting meio pesado. Popovich and barral, tough division.

[hamoom]

what about freaking josh barnett in there? haha

[Mikey Triangles]

Barnett vs Monson would be a great opening match.

i'm actually really interested to see how barnett performs in a pure grappling event this big... i know kerr tapped him in adcc but that was a long time ago
