Kid Peligro Jiu-Jitsu News . . . Ronaldo 'Jacare' to skip ADCC - 2007 Pan-Ams Update - ADCC Japan Trials Update
Submitted by: Kid Peligro
Under 88KG ADCC Champion Ronaldo 'Jacare' is not competing in the ADCC 2007 event! In a conversation with the organizing committee, Ronaldo declined to compete because of a conflict with a professional fighting commitment. Jacare was considered the favorite to repeat as Champion in his division and to challenge for the Absolute title. Without his presence the Under 88KG division becomes 'wide' open and in many ways even more exciting, with many possible challengers for the title!
