No Gi Mundials

Just wondering who will be there? I have heard that the tourney is going to be small, not to many people have signed up yet.

P.S. Babalu will be competing in the brown belt division

Babalu has at least black belt skills in No-gi. Don't tell me he's sandbagging!!!

i was going to say...my first thought was "how is babalu just a brown belt?" i mean...maybe technically...a lot of MMA fighters get advanced faster it seems without competing in tourny's...but Babalu? are u sure?

Yes, babalu is a brown belt so he will competing at brown belt level. He's No Gi ability is awesome (I hear he taps flavio almeida a lot) and he's Gi game has been coming along extremely well. Expect a blackbelt soon

Also keep in mind, babalu trained with marco rua which doesn't use the BJJ belt system I believe. Now that he is Gracie barra for the past few years and trains with a Gi and No Gi he has been receiving belts.Like everyone else you have to earn the belt you wear which he easily has

I'm going to try and get a sponsor, but I've been preoccupied with a lot of crap recently.
