Nova União’s Bruno Bastos has already stated that his team’s objective is nothing short of placing first at the tournament set to take the Kitty Magee Arena by storm this coming May 8 in Dallas, Texas, and a major contingent from the outfit appearing on the competitor list proves he means business.

And the other big teams from around the United States look intent on throwing a wrench in Bastos’s plans, with teams Gracie Barra, Gracie Humaitá, Lovato BJJ, Lloyd Irvin, Team Lutter, Ribeiro JJ, Mohler BJJ, Marra Senki, Brasa, and Alliance all figuring in numbers on the roster, as well.
