Rickson Gracie is starting a new MMA Championship here in Brazil. It's called Mestre do Combate (something like "The Combat's Master").

He already signed with a big TV sport company and with a good place in Rio to held the event at november 22.

He is going to use some of the "old school" rules, like:

1) The weight in will be in the night of the fight = no fighter weighting more than 10 pounds during the fight

2) Tourneys per cities = 1 night, 5 weight classes, 5 fights. 3 wins gives you another fight in the next tourney

3) The clock doesnt save you from a KO or sub = gotta watchout in the final seconds of the round

4) 1st round with 10 minutes = PRIDE 1st round strategy is back?

5) No victory per points = No UFC boxing judges bullshyt, after 2 rounds there will be 3 votes: Rickson, judge and YOU.

One of the most prominent Jiu-Jitsu fighters the world has ever seen and one of the inspirations for the creation of the UFC is back on track, but slow down, he won’t be fighting again, at least not for now. The Gracie will play an important role as a referee in a MMA event in Brazil, but it goes beyond that as far as we know.

Last week it was announced he signed a 3-year contract with SportPar, a company responsible for organizing this Brazilian MMA event called Master of Combat (translated from the Portuguese, Mestre do Combate). According to the organizers, it’s goal is to compete for viewership with the UFC and other important events in Brazil.

Rickson, who has spoken lately about not being so excited with the sport nowadays also mentioned that the event will also bring some interesting new rules compared with the traditional MMA events all over the world.

To knock the curiosity down, here are the rules for Master of Combat: the weigh in will take place the same day the fighter steps in the cage; the bouts will only be two rounds, where the first is 10 minutes and the second is only 5 , like it was in Pride just without the third round. There is no victory by points and in the case of a draw (which in this case means no KO or submission during the fight), there will be an extra round; if the draw persists, then come Rickson (1 vote), the central referee (1 vote) and the TV viewers (1 vote) to decide on the winner; on the other hand, if there is a submission or a knockout underway in the end of the rounds, the fight won’t be stopped after the time is finished.

exactly why i brought it up, Cormier has made 2 comments about fighting Jones so im gonna take him serious.

"With Jon, we all wondered how he would deal with adversity. He cruises through so many fights. How will he do when things don't go just right for him? Well, on Saturday night, he got dealt about as bad adversity as it could have gotten, and he got through it. I thought he fought well."

"I think what that shows, is that Jon Jones is not only a great fighter, he's a guy that loves being a UFC champion and everything that comes along with being the UFC champion. The fame, the money, and everything else around it. The aura of being the best fighter in the world ... he really does love it. He lives for it, and it's not going to be easy to take that from him. He's willing to go through the fire in order to stay in that place. He's said in his interviews that he wanted to be the greatest fighter of all time, and people doubted his sincerity. Saturday, he showed that he meant what he said. He wants to be the best of all time, and he's willing to do what it takes to ensure that."

"I would love all that stuff too. I would love to be called the best fighter in the world, and have everything else that comes along with being the UFC champion," Cormier said. "I thought Saturday night was very telling, and it's going to be difficult to get that belt away from him. It's going to have to be somebody that's in the right frame of mind, that's willing to go through the fire with him. I know for a fact that I'm willing to go there. I'm willing to be involved in a dirty fight where we're both bloodied and can hardly stand up. You have to be willing to go to a place with Jon Jones that I don't know if many people are willing to do. I think Jon is the best fighter in the world, pound for pound. Not just at 205. In all the weight classes, he's the best."

That was my OG argument..he said himself that he's thought about it...but leave it to some nikkas in here and they think dudes just talk for attention. DC doesnt really have to do that.
