Why does Eduardo Tanaka, Andrews Nakahara and Ewerton Texeira all get first round matches against un-fresh opponents?

The Costa Rican dojo seems to be putting out more Fighters, it's kind of interesting to see.

There's a lot of interesting match-ups for those who follow the American scene. Can't wait till tomorrow!!

I am sure everyone will be there, and not at the dojo---they do sell tickets at the door of the event

It seems always that better players / fighters get the seeds in tournaments...

Wow, nice Vapor san..

Who are the contenders in this tournament you think???

Teixeira, Andrews Nakahara, Edwardo Tanaka, Habrasica(Poland)

I think that I will just hang out close to the floor in case they want me to participate...you know, if someone twists their ankle or something, and they need a substitute!!!

Should be some good fights!

I think the brazilians are key-heads in each blocks. Maybe this is the reason why they get first against unfreshin.

Well, there were some great fights!!!

I have pictures, but I am not sure they will be worth looking at, because it is a crap camera, with a worse focus feature!

I will get them uploaded and then share a little later tonight!
