One of the most important tournaments in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu calendar, the World Pro Jiu Jitsu Cup is an event held in Abu Dhabi in which to qualify, the competitors must win one of the many trial events held all over the world. On this page you will see the results of those trials in the brown/black belt divisions, as they go along.
The winners of these trials are handed not only a prize money, but also given a free plane ticket to go and compete at the main event in Abu Dhabi as well as a hotel booking (also for free). The fighters that make it to the event can win a substantial cash prize if they win the finals of up to $30,000 for the absolute division and $8,000 for their own groups.
The Jiu Jitsu World Pro Cup 2012 San Diego Trials will be broadcasted on the 10th and 11th of March, click here to check how to view them.
