Brazilian Vinny Pezão announced this Tuesday that he will not participate in the Jiu-Jitsu World Championship in 2012. The current champion of the ADCC – Main submission competition in the world – stated that he gave up the competition to become a coach. This is because Pezão was invited to be the jiu-jitsu coach of Chael Sonnen in the long-awaited rematch against Anderson Silva. The announcement was made by the black belt himself through his Twitter account.
“Forget my last post about competing (the World Cup). Instead, I'm going to Oregon to help the UFC middleweight champion prepare for his title fight in Brazil,” Vinny wrote, calling Sonnen a champion.
the fight between Anderson Silva e Chael Sonnen is scheduled to take place on June 23rd, at the Engenhão Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro. The fight is the most anticipated rematch by MMA fans. In the first duel between them, which took place at UFC 117, in 2009, Sonnen dominated the fight for 23 minutes, but ended up finishing with just over a minute left in the fight.
