The Long Beach pyramid in California is getting ready to host the Samurai Pro Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament. ADCC champion and MMA star Fabrício Werdum is part of the organizing committee of the event set to take place May 8 and pay out a total of 30 thousand dollars to the winners.
The show is already pretty much guaranteed to be a hit, with major stars from world Jiu-Jitsu ready to take to the mats. André Galvão, Roberto Tussa, Bill Cooper, Kayron Gracie, Clark Gracie, Antonio Braga Neto, and João Assis are just some of the stars listed to be there.
Sign-ups for all belt colors end this Wednesday. So better rush, everyone can register on the www.samuraijjpro.com website.
