The Superfight for ADCC 2007 is now set. Dean Lister had to withdraw a few days ago because of injury leaving an opening to be fullfilled. ADCC wishes Dean a speedy recovery and look forward to having him come back strong in ADCC 2009. However the show must go on, replacing Dean in the Superfight against current Absolute winner Roger Gracie, will be none other than Ricardo Arona.
