Metamoris IV took place at the Petersen Automotive Museum, Los Angeles and it is headlined by the fight between the former Ufc fighter Chael Sonnen and the Bjj world champion Andre Galvao. In the co-main event the black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and former Ufc Hw champion Josh Barnett faced the 2003 ADCC absolute world champion Dean Lister.
The “Metamoris” superfights have different rules from the common BJJ rules: the time limit is 20 minutes instead of 10 min (as usually in the black belt fights) but the most interesting thing is that it is possible to win only by submission! If there is no submissions (or disqualifications) the fight ends in a tie.
