May 8, 2004. A mildly-mustachioed, 25-year-old Pinoy wrecking ball named Manny Pacquiao, fresh off a knockout of legendary Mexican warrior Marco Antonio Barrera, is making his third trip to the featherweight division. He has defended his super bantamweight titles eight times and, after taking home The Ring featherweight title at the expense of Barrera, is looking to expand his trophy case by adding the WBA and IBF featherweight titles. Rather reluctant to part with them is 30-year-old Juan Manuel Márquez. Aside from a highly-controversial split-decision loss in 1999 and a disqualification in his debut, he is unbeaten in more than 40 fights. Of his last 11 opponents, 10 have been stopped before the final bell, the sole survivor losing a technical decision. Considering that Pacquiao has stopped 12 of his last 13, all but two inside six rounds, that this fight will be absolutely crazy is pretty much a given.

The debate will be settled once and for all: did Eddie Bravo get lucky when he caught Royler Gracie in a triangle choke over 10 years ago, OR, can he do it again and put all the trash talkers to rest! The tickets to the live event in Los Angeles sold out in 3 hours. Metamoris is the first submission grappling organization to showcase the world's best athletes in a submission-only format with one round of 20-minutes per match. There is no other way to win a Metamoris fight other than by submitting your opponent (forcing them to tap out), thus the only way to take the belt from a champion within Metamoris is by submission, making Metamoris more entertaining and realistic than traditional point system based grappling events. Win or lose the best only get better.
