<<prev  page 1  page 2  page 3 

American champion Kanako Inaba was the only female in the division at the Pan Amerricans, at the Mundials there are six competitors. Last year’s champion Michelle Nicolini returns to defend her title, her toughest competition will be on the same side of her bracket in Felicia Oh, who is dropping a weight division from her champion run at the Pan Americans.

Featherweight

8 woman division here and defending champion Leticia Ribeiro (you may recall her from beating up Steve-O on the Wild Boyz) is here as the favorite of the division.

2006 Mundials: Leticia Ribeiro Gracie Humaita
Pan Americans: Felicia Oh Machado JJ

Lightweight

Defending champion Kyra Gracie is out, still rehabbing a knee injured at ADCC. In the four woman division I would suggest that 2006 runner up Hannette Quadros is the favorite now.

Middleweight

Three ladies in this division, and Emily Kwok draw the bye. I would reckon Pan Americans champion Luciana Dias is the favorite, who matches Kris Shaw in the first round.

Medium Heavy

Four women in here, and a new champion will be crowned. Penn Thomas took the Pan American title without opposition, but took the ADCC crown in a stacked field.
