Metamoris 4: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Meets MMA
“Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is
an inefficient and unsophisticated modern fad”, said Chael Sonnen in an interview with Adam Guillen of MMAMania.com in
2011. Three years later, Chael Sonnen is in danger of eating his words when he
battles Andre Galvao at Metamoris 4, an upcoming grappling event to be held
on August 9 in Los Angeles, California.
Check out the awesome trailer for Metamoris 4 below:
Metamoris has Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purists from around the world on
the edge of their seats in anticipation of their latest event, which features
top mixed martial artists against BJJ legends. Chael Sonnen, after recently
announcing his retirement from MMA, has decided to try his hand at
grappling. His opponent is none other than
7 time Mundials champion and 3 time ADCC gold medalist, Andre Galvao.
Check out the below video for a beautiful display of Andre Galvao’s grappling
prowess.
Other exciting matches to look out for at Metamoris 4 are Dean
Lister vs. Josh Barnett and Keenan Cornelius vs. Vinny Magalhaes. Taking some time away from MMA, Barnett will be looking to showcase the
discipline of catch wrestling. In Dean Lister, Barnett faces one of the world’s
most experienced and accomplished grapplers. Lister has not been submitted in
competition in over 15 years.
Metamoris 4 is a true dream card for every BJJ fan, featuring the
best competitors in the world. The
entire event will be available via live streaming at www.METAMORIS.com.
