Master Carlson Gracie arrived this Sunday at Rio de Janeiro, from Chicago, to check the last details of his new MMA project, Real Fight, that will be held on July 30th, in Hebraica gym, in Rio de Janeiro. As usual, Carlson left the International airport straight for Porcão, one of the best barbecue restaurant in the city, with his friend Oswaldo Paquetá, the most popular BJJ filmmaker in Brazil. While he's waiting for the food, Carlson chatted with us about his new show, that will be broadcasted by Globosat, the biggest cable channel in Brazil. "We'll rock. I came to Rio to set the last details with the other producers. This tournament is full of surprises", guarantees Master Carlson, that let the Brazilian Top Team athletes fight on his show under one rule: "I'm a nice guy and I let them fight, but uner only one condition: Mário Sperry, Allan Góes, Murilo Bustamante, Bebeo Duarte, Ricardo Libório and Carlão Barreto can't be their corners. If any of these guys want to watch the show, they will have to pay for their tickets", states. Paulo Boiko and Neca will be representing BTT.

Whats that all about? Man, that sounds kinda childish. How old is he? I mean really..... grow up. Either don't allow them in your shows at all... not even to fight, or give them the freedom everyone else has. To say "hey, your team CAN fight... you just CAN'T have your best guys in their corners (ie. basically we want your team to lose)" is horrible for the sport IMO.
