ADCC Committee just announced the next ADCC Masters Superfight; where the defending champion Mario Sperry is going to face Ricardo Liborio in the next ADCC Worlds!
Both legends are ex team mates from the time when they were under Master Carlson Gracie. Sperry formed Brazilian Top Team and Liborio went on to form American Top Team.
Mario Sperry has won the previous Masters Superfights against Renzo Gracie in ADCC Worlds 2011 in England and Fabio Gurgel in ADCC Worlds 2013 in China. Mario Sperry is a multiple times ADCC Champion (superfights, weight and absolute) and World BJJ Champion.
Ricardo Liborio is the head instructor and one of the creators of American Top Team. He is a veteran in ADCC with bronze and silver medals in 1999 and 2000 and a multiple times BJJ National Champion.
Ricardo Liborio is considered, by many to be the best Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt formed by Master Carlson Gracie and an all around legend of the sport. Ricardo Liborio was also the very first world BJJ champion in the super heavyweight division (A division he won weighing little over 85 kgs).
