Highly decorated black belt Kyra Gracie is one of the stars set to attend the Ryan Gracie Challenge tournament to take place December 15 in São Paulo.
There will be cash prizes and an intriguing fight-to-the-finish GP.
To participate at the championship and get a chance to chat and snap a photo with Kyra, contact Francisco “Pitta” Santana by December 10 by telephone, (11) 998.642.293; or email, pittajj@hotmail.com.
The top placed athletes in the absolute division will automatically qualify for the Challenge, a no-points, 20-minute-duration contest where only a submission will suffice for the win. There will be a bonus prize for those who score a tapout. Should the 20 minutes play out without a submission, the match will be declared a draw.
Some of the athletes confirmed to be there are Kitner Moura, Caio Almeida, Jorge Azevedo, Alexandre Henrique and brown belt Felipe Sousa.
