According to a message posted via Facebook, Aussie BJJ’er Kit Dale is officially out of this years Pan Am’s. Kit Dale seemed to blast out of “nowhere” at last years World’s when he lost to Keenan Cornelius in a very close opening match. Interestingly during the match commentary you hear Shawn Williams say the following in reference to Kit Dale, “If anyone in the chat room knows his opponent that would be helpful…” Illustrating the point that 12 months ago few in the BJJ community had heard of Kit Dale. What a difference a year can make. In addition to placing in many big BJJ events, Kit Dale has become very popular from his youtube channel. Check it out, it is filled with crazy comedy sketches. Be warned – Adult themed content!

For now we will have to wait to see Kit Dale at the Abu Dhabi World Pro. With or without Kit, the Pan’s are happening and the divisions are stacked!
