ADCC 2011 is already warming up its engines for the showdown coming up September 24 and 25 in Nottingham, England, and you can check out the early moves made by the event first hand, like who’s on the program so far.
The big news this year when it comes to the rules is that the weight-in will be held just before the athletes’ first match. Straight from the scale to the mat, no piddling around.
The complete timetable will only be out in August. Check out the info released so far below, and be there!
