LONG BEACH, CA, May 11, 2012 – The list of attractions just keeps growing for this weekend’s World Jiu-Jitsu Expo scheduled for Long Beach.
Put together by Renzo Gracie and crew, event scheduled for tomorrow, May 12th, is the first of its kind for the sport and will feature everything from exclusive photo exhibits highlighting the history of BJJ in MMA to VIP training sessions along with the IBJJF Spring Open, a tournament put together specifically for the event.
In addition to those attractions for the BJJ die-hards in attendance, the World JJ Expo will also feature a few very special grappling superfights that will be televised over the web via www.mobileblackbelt.tv.
The main event will feature an inter-sport clash of sorts as UFC superstar and Cesar Gracie black belt Nick Diaz puts his grappling chops to the test against ADCC champion Bráulio Estima.
In addition, six more matchups featuring an all-star cast of top level grapplers will also be broadcast LIVE for the fans at home.
This includes a rematch from this year’s IBJJF Pans between Victor Estima and Kron Gracie along with women’s champion Kyra Gracie taking on Alexis Davis, an MMA fighter for the Strikeforce organization.
Another interesting matchup pits 2007 No-Gi world champ Jeff Glover against four-time No-GI champion Caio Terra.
