Lemoore, CA — The biggest news coming out of the WEC 9 show is that HDTV was taping the show for not one but two upcoming broadcasts anticipated for later this month. This resulted in the already oversize card being split in two with the Chris Leben/Mike Swick Middleweight Championship fight on the first "show" and after a fifteen minute break the Mike Kyle/Jude Hagert on the second "show". Other news coming out of this show was Josh Hayes being the subject of an MTV "True Life" episode and the first women’s bout in WEC. Not surprisingly the show sold out several days before the event just as five of the other nine WECs have. Look for a full report an upcoming issue of Full Contact Fighter.

      With the impressive boom of Mixed Martial Arts in Brazil in 2003, when several new shows were born and the sport saw a impressive growth both in popularity and opportunities for the fighters, as well as the fact organization of the Abu Dhabi World Championships in this country, the sport of Submission Wrestling took advantage of the trend and also saw some growth, as several events appeared giving ground fighters a chance to compete and keep in shape, without having to risk themselves at the tough MMA competitions all the time, and still earn their livings. From all those Submission Wrestling shows, one rose above the competition and have been establishing itself as the premier of its kind in the country, always counting with famous names from both MMA and Jiu-Jitsu competitions in their brackets, the Submission Wrestling in Campos, a city located near Rio de Janeiro.
      The 3rd edition of the show would be no exception, and this next January 23rd and 24th a lot of famous names for the international fans will be competing for a good prize money in each of the divisions. The show counts with eight fighters in each division, one for fighters up to 65kg, another division for fighters up to 76kg, yet another one for fighters up to 87kg, and a division for fighters up to 105kg. The weekend of fights will also feature the absolute division, and a superfight between UFC veteran Alexandre Cafe Dantas against MECA veteran Rodrigo Riscado.
