It looks like with every passing day the ADCC competitor list gets thinner. Latest to succumb to injuries are Gilbert Durinho Burns and Bruno Frazatto.
Frazatto wrote on instagram:
I am devastated guys. On Thursday in one of the last sparring sessions I had a knee injury and I’m out of ADCC 2017. I am very upset because I am feeling sharp and prepared as I have not felt for many years but anyway sometimes God have different plans for us. I would like to thank all the people involved in my camp for making me so well prepared I really appreciate all your effort. I will back strong. |
