Interesting country list.

I had no idea this was going on.   I'm surprised since there is international competition there.  Uguev made a successful appearance.

The only real international entries are Mongolia and Belarus.

The others are all Russian 'republics' and would be under the Russian flag in any other international tournament.

Not arguing with you at all, just saying I'm not sure how "international" Belarus is at the moment.  Seems to be very very closely aligned with Russia. Maybe even more than Dagestan!

Fair point.

The country list is kind of sad, either way, considering the past years.

I see Iranians in the brackets. Perhaps not the top guys, but they still represent the country.

And as for Tom Brands and his rating of Spencer Lee, I just wanted to tell LJB that I have both Uguev and Idrisov putting a beating on Spencer Lee.
