On having presented the Brazilian team at ADCC 2007 fighter Luiz Theodoro, more known as Big Mac celebrates to have been approved for Super Challenge Grappling  and promised to make the life of lighter fighters more complex through his just and efficient game.

‘I got very content with this selection which is the acknowledgement of my work. I lacked a bit the experience at ADCC. It is necessary to know how to work with those rules. But it will be different at Super Challenge. The fights will be more dynamic and motivating submission. If the lighter fighters possess more flexibility and speed, on my part I have to develop the strength and the weight to make the game just and efficient‘, confirms Big Mac weighing 118 kg.

"I have made history in Judô and I remember there was a time when this sports was questioned at the Olimpics because it was getting more limited. Nobody liked it. I consider the rules of Super Challenge to be efficient to make the event a spectacular show for the audience. ‘I know the audience is always supporting the weakest will do my best in the attempt of conquering the audience of the event’, added the fighter.
