The Super Challenge Grappling organization has just booked the luxurious Athletico Paulistano club, in Sao Paulo, for the 8th of December. Not satisfied with putting on their absolute submission wrestling tournament in the most elite location in Sao Paulo, the event building a cinema-style set, set around medieval Japan.
"We want to put on a submission wrestling event with a lot of glamour. We ordered a medieval Japanese castle, with guards and other surprise elements from the guys from the X-9 samba school set-production guys. The castle will be built at the entrance to the gymnasium in real size and the fighters will feel like they are entering a temple to fight,” explains promoter Paulo Vasconcellos, promising to make a sensational announcement in the coming days.
Super Challenge Grappling will bring together 16 athletes, eight Brazilians and eight foreigners, in an absolute submission event. Robert Drysdale, Demian Maia, Fabricio Werdum, Jeff Monson and Ronaldo Jacare are the names that have been announced up until now.
