Weight classes are all done and we're on to the Absolute division.
Absolute and finals results are listed below; for all other results from the weekend, check the full entry.
Men's Absolute Final (click for video)
Bráulio Estima (Brazil) def. Xande Ribeiro (Brazil) via arm/shoulder injury
They tie up. Xande drops to a knee and Braulio pulls guard. Braulio rolls over looking for an armbar and nearly locks up an inverted triangle! Still trying for it as Xande defends from his knees. Now Braulio has the triangle cinched up tight, but Xande's snuck an arm inside to defend. That triangle isn't going anywhere though. Xande stands with Braulio still hanging off his front with the triangle. Braulio loosens up the triangle a bit - Xande shucks him off and follows down to half guard. Now the ref steps in to stop the fight... Xande seems to be holding his right arm. Yep, definitely an arm injury - Xande isn't moving the arm at all. Braulio is overjoyed, crying with happiness.
Estima wins $40,000 and the right to face Jacare at ADCC 2011.

My weekend is going to be completely sucked up by ADCC and ADCC related jiu jitsu activities… Good times.

Tudor is a way way way way better submission grappler so I’m rather happy he got in.

I saw him in "Surfer"...
talking about how much he loved jiu jitsu and I was like “ah, how nice—the soul surfer likes to roll a little jitz”.
I didn’t know he was ADCC level!

I will be watching K1, but I’ll watch the videos of this later.
I’m backing Yoshida (although unlikely) and Werdum.

If I had to guess, he’ll probably lose when he gets to Leo. But maybe he’ll surprise people.
by Ahhhoki on Sep 25, 2009 4:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Even if he gets knocked out in the first round, Yoshida-Leo is pretty cool.
Yoshida-Askren would be fun, but Askren won’t make it past Linden, much less Pablo.

I htink Pablo could actually beat Garcia.
And Humphreys to win this year.

Wouldn’t be hard to do a primer on just the favorites, some of the guys in there are pretty hard to get info on just because of where they compete etc

It is hard when you’ve got 1,000 things to do every single day that have nothing to do with ADCC. It’s not a lack of knowledge; it’s a lack of time.

Rubens Cobrinha Charles for a podium finish.

No chance he wins. Hall heel hooked him as an alternate in 2007. He’ll do it again this year if he has to.
by Luke Thomas on Sep 25, 2009 7:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
If they get each other it will be a relatively horrific match because they’ll both try to out 50/50 guard each other, Ryan is awesome but Rubens can’t ever ever be counted out because he has a great tendency to get ahead on points real fast, especially considering that Ryan typically enjoys working from his guard more which is dangerous as far as points go.

No chance, Luke? Hall would have to get through Vieira in the quarters to even get to Cobrinha in the finals (assuming Ruben gets through Rani/Glover). I know he’s your boy, but…I just don’t see it.

I think you’re mistaken. Hall submitted Gordinho at ADCC 2007. I’m pretty sure that was his only match. See here: http://pageman.multiply.com/video/item/109/ADCC_Verbal_Submission_via_5050_position_Ryan_Hall_Vs._Rafael_Gordinho_Correa
Cobrinha and Hall had a match last year, and Hall was choked out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlO__FnYsuc
Cobrinha has been just about unbeatable for the past couple of years. I would not be at all surpised to see him win his division.

But seriously Steve made a lot of money on the corporate talk scene for years taking the piss out of his own win.

picks
Jeff Glover
Kron Gracie
Galvao/Estima
Xande Ribeiro
“Cyborg” Abreu
If I knew more of these players, I might have picked differently… My money’s on Abreu for heavyweight, though.

I’d love to see Kron take it down too, but he’ll get Marcelo in the quarters. Yowzas.

Nice. I haven’t really watched any Judo except random highlights and the last Olympics. Too much emphasis on an important yet marginal aspect of fighting (personal opinion). The guys are obviously hella talented but I haven’t watched it enough to understand all the subtleties of the guys trying to throw each other.

It is but a marginal aspect of MMA to be sure
But the sport of more or less trying to throw somebody is in and of itself pretty awesome to watch.

Jacare beats Drysdale in supermatch
How it went:
Jacare started out playing on top, but without offering much danger. With both again on their feet, Jaca managed to land a takedown, working from atop his adversary. Relying on his famed explosiveness, Jacare upheld the attack, but Drysdale annulled his attempts well.
With both again standing, Jacare took the chance to go for an inside-trip takedown. With Drysdale again standing, the two spent a good while trading grips.
With the first five minutes over and points now counting, Jacare took the initiative and barely missed landing another takedown. It was Drysdale’s turn to go on the attack and stir up the crowd. Jacare managed to defend well, though, and the two went back to trading grips.
After another attempt, Jacare finally managed to score the two points that would define the match in his favor at the end of regulation time.

I joined BE yesterday so I could take part in the discussions on this weekends highlights in form of both ADCC and the K-1 tournament. As soon as I registered though I got an unpleasent surprise: I had to wait a full 24 hours before I could write a simple comment. Today I’m out of the quarantine and the semifinals are about to begin. Unfortunately I didn’t order the stream so I have to do with live bloging from http://thefightworkspodcast.com/.

With the win over Monson and one-hook RNC, I’d say he already has.

He did good, but even in a somewhat blase year, Xande is just awesome.

Nope. Vinny making the finals would’ve been the real shocker.

Roger Gracie comes to mind
Perhaps others

Jacare vs Estima at some point in the future appearntly, perhaps as far out as 2011. Commentators express confusion as to where the next ADCC will be. “Not in Spain, that’s for sure,” maybe in Chicago?

The combination of very long term planning for special bouts and sheer confusion as to the precise members of the brackets is funny.

The commentating/interviews/etc. of ADCC this year has been pure comedy.
by Chris Nelson on Sep 27, 2009 2:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It was more or less just like giving the mic to a row of audience members—being the ADCC, the audience members are well informed and connected, but not exactly commentators. They clearly meant well though, and I’m sure it will improve by the next time around.

I’ve trained with Braulio a bunch of times and he is full of laughs, smiles and jokes. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
It’s finally his time. What a great performance.

Ostensibly, the winners of the superfight and absolute division square off in the superfight of the next ADCC.
This year’s superfight was supposed to be Drysdale (2007 Absolute winner) vs. Gracie (2007 superfight + 2005 Absolute winner).

For those who subscribed to the feeds – you can watch replays of both days on the ADCC site now.

38 minutes into watching it the feed cut out for me and I am unable to have them work upon reload. I wish the files were downloadable.
