THE PYRAMID In Long Beach, California, To Host The 6th Submission Wrestling World Championships On Memorial Day Weekend 2005 (May 28th and 29th)

"Co-promoter Gilberto Villela is finishing up the deal for the arena very soon" reveals ADCC spokesman Miguel Iturrate. "The PYRAMID, where UCAL Long Beach plays their basketball games, is a state of the art arena built in the 1990s. We have good receptions from the school, the city, the local authorities. Gilberto has really done his homework, and the time has come to tell the Grappling world -- next year, all eyes will be on Long Beach, California!"

Much more to come on this event as things develop. "We have a few surprises left up our sleeves, but getting the venue taken care of and signed is the immediate focus. Look for more details in the weeks and months to come, and look out for the North American Trials, scheduled for Vernon, Canada, on September 18th" concludes the spokesman.
