You ready for the 2012 competition season to kick off into full gear? Hell yeah you are! And so are we. Check out the competition brackets below, as well as the IBJJF released schedule. I’m not sure if the times listed are local Lisbon times, but I’m assuming so. If that’s the case the time difference is +5 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. So if it’s 5PM in Lisbon it’s Noon on the East coast and 9AM on the West coast. Cool?

Look over the brackets and let us know if you see a favorite, potential matchup, or teammate you’re rooting for. And as ALWAYS, we’ll try to get you any footage we possibly can of the big fights. For now, check out this time lapse of them setting up the stadium.
