Earlier this week we reported that Metamoris was having a secret event involving the big guys (Heavyweights/Super-Heavyweights). This would imply that Ralek Gracie and company are looking for someone to face current standout, Josh Barnett, who submitted Dean Lister at Metamoris 4.
It was long thought that Marcus “Buchecha” Almeida would fight for the Metamoris Heavyweight championship but now it seems that the elite BJJ champion is more geared toward the Jiu Jitsu World League. As I’m sure you all know Buchecha had an incredible Metamoris match with BJJ legend Roger Gracie in 2012.
Either way, we are going to get to enjoy an incredible round robin style BJJ tournament here very soon, with nothing but the big guys. Is it really feasible that a “walk-on” contender can defeat the “Warmaster” Josh Barnett? Personally I don’t think so, but you never know. What say you?
