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.

 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. |

Em uma das últimas sessões de sparring na Quinta Feira voltei a lesionar meu joelho e vou precisar de algum tempo para reabilitar, e por esse motivo estou fora do ADCC. Estou arrasado mais em confio em Deus e acredito que ele tenha outros planos para mim. Voltarei mais forte.
