BJJ
Heroes has done a straight forward break down HERE of each division
listing: current champion, contenders in the division and their
accomplishments that make them contenders.
It's one of the better pre-viewing guides I've seen for next weekend's big event in Long Beach.
There are some incredibly tough brackets out there such as those ruled by 5x world champion Marcelo Garcia and 4x world champion Bruno Malfacine but then we also have the following divisions:
Peso Leve /Light Weight (76kg)
Peso Meio Pesado /Medium Heavy Weight (88kg)
Peso Médio /Middle Weight (82kg)
