This just in from Metamoris. Official statement:
“Bill Cooper has been cut from the Metamoris Pro Jiu Jitsu Invitational II card for failing to complete pre-competition requirements and for conduct unbefitting a Metamoris competitor. We expect our athletes to comport themselves in a professional manner both on and off the mat. Despite Cooper’s unquestionable ability as a competitor, we had to part ways.
Stepping in for Cooper on June 9th, and taking on Victor Estima, is Keenan Cornelius. We are honored to have Cornelius take part in the card. He is the only man in history to score a Jiu Jitsu Grand Slam by taking double gold, winning his weight division and the absolute, at the Brazilian Nationals, the European Open, the Pan-Ams, and the Worlds, in a single year. We look forward to providing Cornelius with a new platform on which he can showcase his consummate skill.”
