Grabbed a list of all the competitors in the tournament so far. Good luck to all fighter’s, especially for our Lloyd Irvin and ATOS Jiu Jitsu family! Everything is so quiet right now as I’m sure everyone is training hard for this tournament. This is looking like the most competitive roster of grappler’s I have seen. Other than the super fight between Jacare and Braulio Estima. My fight to watch is Rodolfo Viera and Roger Gracie.
