Abu Dhabi Championships might be available via webcast!

Word on the street is that the biannual Abu Dhabi Combat Club World Submission Grappling Championships will be available via PAY PER VIEW webcast. Going rate seems to be between $20 and $25 depending on whether you pre-order or pay the day of the event. No word yet on whether or not this fee will cover the whole 2 day event or if this will be a per day fee. The contract for the webcast is rumored to be inked and released this Monday.

The 2007 ADCC Championships will be held May 5th & 6th at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, New Jersey. Interested in attending? Ticket information is available here.
