The second edition of the World Jiu-Jitsu Expo is going to take place November 9 and 10, but the attractions are already coming together. The organizers have confirmed, for example, the presence of brothers Rickson and Royce Gracie at the Long Beach Pavillion.
The masters and MMA idols will be giving autographs and talking to fans on both days of the event. MMA referee “Big” John McCarthy is another name confirmed.
The convention center in Long Beach will be the stage for the big fair, which promises for the second time to bring together the biggest stars of Jiu-Jitsu and MMA in free seminars, superfights, exhibits and conversations about Jiu-Jitsu.
There will be homages to some of the sport’s pioneers like Carlos, Helio, Carlson and Rolls Gracie. Another big attraction is the photo exhibit featuring the work of Susumu Nagao and Marcelo Alonso about the origins of vale tudo, before it became MMA and took the world by storm.
