Fabricio Werdum is hosting the Samurai Pro Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament on
May 8, 2011, starting at 9:30 a.m., at the world famous Long Beach Pyramid,
located on the CSU Long Beach campus. The event consists of two tournaments: the
Samurai BJJ Tournament, which is for white to brown belts and the prestigious
Samurai Black Belt Pro Tournament. Cash prizes of up to $30,000 will be awarded
to various winners in the blue, purple, and brown belt open classes, and to the

Strikeforce win over Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko, is looking forward to
hosting this celebrated event. “I am very excited to be part of such a great
competition,” Werdum says, “With all the cash prizes being given away, I’m sure
it will be the most successful and memorable Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament of
2011.”
