The first day of ADCC trials Brazil finished with some surprises and many confirmed stars advancing. Surprise losses by Ruben ‘Cobrinha’ Charles and Tarsys Humphries, while stars like Andre Galvao, Romulo Barral and Daniel Moraes advanced to the semi’s. ADCC Committee’s Co-chairman Guy Neivens was impressed: ‘This is perhaps the strongest group we’ve ever had in any trials. The level in Brazil is always high but this is impressive!’ Leo Vieira one of the leaders of Brasa team was happy and voiceless after coaching a host of fighters: ‘We are doing well, many of our fighters are in the semi’s and tomorrow have a chance to secure their spot in the main event. I can’t talk anymore, I have to save my voice for coaching tomorrow!’Check out the results below:Under 66 Kg:Bruno Frazatto (Godoi) x Samuel Braga (Gracie Barra-BH)Helder ?Bob Esponja?
