The largest ADCC event ever is about to take place. The 2007 ADCC Trials Brazil edition breaks every record in ADCC history in number of competitors. The event taking place in Sao Paulo Brazil is by far the largest ever ADCC sponsored event. All the judges and many of the top members of the ADCC comitte including point man Guy Neivens are already in Sao Paulo to oversee and coordiante the entire process along with the local organizers.
With names like Andre Galvao, Celsinho Vinicious, Fabricio Morango, Rani Yahi, Bruno Bastots, Romulo Barral, Hannette Quadros, Leticia Ribeiro and many others, participating in this trial by fire, one can assume that the winners of the Brazil trials will immediately be considered favorites to the main event.
