Roger Gracie (Gracie Barra) towers over Tarsis Humphreys (Alliance) at the 2010 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Championship.

What a day! The first day of black belt men and black / brown belt females is behind us at the 2010 BJJ World Championship and what a tornado of action. While every year’s Mundial showcases the best jiu-jitsu athletes on the globe, no event has ever felt as stacked as this year’s. Big stories of the event of course include Roger Gracie’s continuing dominance, the dense field of talent in the men’s middleweight division, Alliance’s female competitors, Team Lloyd Irvin’s persistent ascendance, and of course many others.

In this recap of the action on Saturday, we speak with the following jiu-jitsu personalities and try to bring just a taste of the intense competition here yesterday:

• Tracey Goodell (Team Lloyd Irvin)
• Hillary Williams
• Lloyd Irvin
• Vinicius “Draculino” Magalhaes
• Luca Atalla of GracieMag

The long-expected non-title fight between Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez and UFC veteran/recent signee Josh Neer now has a date.

While a guest on today's edition of MMAjunkie.com Radio, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney said the fight takes place May 6 at Bellator 17.

Bellator announced last month that the fight was being targeted for a May card, though an exact date wasn't mentioned. It's now set for the Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre in Boston, which is a half day's drive from Alvarez's Philadelphia home.

The date for Strikeforce's second network-televised fight card stands.

Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker on Friday told MMAjunkie.com that "Strikeforce: Nashville" will not be moved
from its April 17 date to sidestep a potential head-to-head clash with
a rumored UFC event on the same night.

"It's the 17th and it's full steam ahead," Coker said. "The 17th was
always a good day when we chose it. We still feel the same way, and so
does CBS."

At an M-1 Selection conference, M-1 President Vadim Finklestein announced that Fedor Emelianenko’s fight with Fabricio Werdrum will take place in May, rather than the originally anticipated April date.

The fight was previously expected to air on CBS, but a middleweight title fight between Dan Henderson and Jake Shields will headline that show instead.

It was rumored that Fedor would Alistair Overeem at the upcoming Dream card, but those rumors were quickly shot down by both Strikeforce/M-1 and Dream.

Overeem is tentavely expected to defend his Strikeforce Heavyweight Championship against the winner of the Werdum/Fedor fight later in the year.

No exact date or location has been set for the bout between Fedor and Werdum as of this writing.

Elliot Worsell, UFC - The date was November 14, 2009 and the opponent was Denis Kang. For Britain's Michael 'The Count' Bisping, nine minutes with Kang was enough to transfer negative thoughts to positive ones and, crucially, restore every ounce of his crumbled confidence.

LAS VEGAS - The return of Brock Lesnar could come a day shy of Independence Day.

A well-placed UFC source told MMAjunkie.com that the promotion is targeting July 3 for an event date in Las Vegas. A venue for the show, which will likely be UFC 116, has not been
determined, and the UFC has not yet reserved the date with the Nevada
State Athletic Commission.

In three of the past four Fourth of July weekends, the UFC has hosted cards in Las Vegas.

Release date is set for May 25.

With production set to commence later this month and a debut set for March 31 on Spike TV, the live finale for "The Ultimate Fighter 11" also has a date: Saturday, June 19.

Although not officially announced by the promotion, "TUF 11" is expected to conclude with a live finale at a Las Vegas venue on the date, sources close to the promotion told MMAjunkie.com.

"TUF 11," which features UFC legends Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell as coaches, features 16 middleweight fighters in the series' traditional tournament format.
