Adcc 2013



On 19th of October Beijing China will host the 10th ADCC championship.
As always the categories are full of elite athletes and super stars.

In the -66kg category Raphael Mendes will try to break the record of the great BJJ legend Royler Gracie, who currently holds three titles in the category. It will not come easily for Mendes as he needs to face fighters like Cobrinha and Tancinho. In the last match at the world championships, Tancinho beat Mendes and left the championship with the tittle. 

In the-77kg category Leonardo Lo, Octavio Sousa, Kron Gracie and Lucas Lepri are some of the many names that  will fight to fill in the void of the category's greatest ever, Marcelo Gracia.

The -88kg category, I believe it will be the most interesting category as one of the fighters is the best brown belt in the world. The "phenomenon" Keean Kornelius is one of my favorites to win the category.
Of couse Rumulo Barral, Lucas Leite, Michael Langhi, Claudio Clazanse, Raphael Lovato JR are thirsty for the title as none of these great athletes has an ADCC tittle on their record yet.

In the -99kg category, 2 times ADCC champion Dean Lister, will face the BJJ favorite, Rodolfo Vieira who is in the best shape of his career.

In the +99kg category, Marcus "Buchecha" Almeida is the favourite to crush everyone on his category, but also every one who steps into the absolute division with him.
