ADCC week is finally here and as always there are some big name pull-outs.
The week’s woes started when a rumor began to circulate about a mysterious eye infection making its way around the Renzo Gracie Academy in New York. Keenan Cornelius had flown to NYC to finish his ADCC camp, but unfortunately he ended up being the biggest victim of the infection and pulled out. To ADCC’s credit, they announced a strong replacement with James Puopolo getting the shot on the world’s biggest stage.
