ADCC 2007 Superfight is being decided right now. The ADCC Organizers could not reach a decision on who should fight Roger Gracie in the Superfight so they formed a sub-committee to vote for two candidates and the winner would be selected.

The candidates are currently in top shape and training to compete in ’07 ADCC so they are ready to go:

Jeff Monson – Jeff is a multiple times ADCC Heavyweight Champion (’99) and current over 99KG champion

John Olav Einemo – Einemo was the 2003 U99KG Champion and the last person to beat Roger in ADCC (semi-finals of 2003). In ’05 Einemo fought with a torn pectoral muscle and still got 4th place

The committee is comprised of the following members:

  • Kid Peligro – ADCC Worldwide advisor
  • Marko Leisten- Head of ADCC Europe
  • John Donehue – Head of ADCC Australia
  • Miguel Iturratte – Head of BODOG FIGHT and ADCC USA
  • Mark Robinson – Head of ADCC Africa
  • Peter Baltalkis – ADCC Head Referee

Guy Neivens – Head ADCC Organizer will cast the deciding vote in case of a 3 – 3

The votes are already being collected and will be announced later on today.

Stay tuned for the decision later today
