Thanks for the results Dave. So how was your time overall? I bet it was a blast to be there.

:)Vince, it was the most incredible tournament or anyother event I have ever been too. I have been to the Olympics and this to me was even better.
Everybody you can think of in grappling and MMA in general was there.
There must have been 20 or more Gracie family members there. I got my picture with Rickson, Renzo, Royce, Ralph and other Gracie family members.
Jacare "The Alligator" was a ton of fun to watch. They say that he was so poor he had to walk two hours to train and then 2 hours to get home.
Marcelo Garcia is probably the best grappler in the world today pound for pound. His win over Ricco Rodriquez was a real inspiration. Ricco out weights Marcelo by 100 pounds.
Really enjoyed watching the women grapplers. Leka Viera took second. I wanted her to win.
Got to sit next to Gene LeBell, Gokor and Santos Flanakan. Really enjoyed their comments about the fighters. Gene LeBell told some great stories too about his days in wrestling.
One of the fighters loaned me his pa*s and I got to go to the bottom floor where all the fighters and celebrities were. Got pictures with and of everybody.
