ADCC 2005 – 6th Submission Wrestling World ChampionshipsThe PYRAMID, Long Beach State Campus, Long Beach, CaliforniaSaturday and Sunday, May 28th and 29th, 2005‘The major news is that Superfight Champion Ricardo Arona is stepping down from the superfight to concentrate on PRIDE.’ states ADCC spokesperson Miguel Iturrate. ‘With this in mind, we offered the superfight to Arona’s runner up from the 2001 Absolute, and he accepted. That fighter is Jean Jacques Machado, and he will be in the SUPERFIGHT against American Dean Lister.”MMA has also cost us two other champions, as Mario Sperry and Royler Gracie will also be pursuing MMA opportunities. We are confident that the 2005 World Championships will field the top talent in the world today, and new faces will definitely add intrigue to the event. We wish Arona, Sperry and Royler only the best.’ continues the spokesperson.New names that have ben confirmed include Alberto Crane in the under 66 KG class, UFC TV show winner Diego ‘Nightmare’ Sanchez, Former UFC and wrestling star Vladimir Matyushenko, ADCC standouts from 2003 Fabrizio Werdum, Otto Olson and David Terrell and the USA’s Erica Montoya among the ladies competitors.
