Going camping tonight and I dont know if the wireless will make it.
Galvao over High (high never faced anyone with Galvaos sub skills)
Aoki over Ribeiro (neither of these guys are going to submit eachother and Aoki is 3in taller and has a good reach advantage, if the odds are good enough tho ill take ribeiro because aoki has a weak chin)
Filho Over Manhoef (Filho is much more rounded fighter and should get the sub)
amade over kikuno (amade beat better comp)
I dont know if they are going to do props or not but my pick to win the tourney is Sakurai.
