Metamoris 6 at 6 p.m. ET on Saturday, May 9, features an incredible line up of talent:

Jeff Monson vs. Road to Metamoris champion

Clark Gracie vs. Roberto Satoshi

Alexandre Ribeiro vs. Keenan Cornelius

Joe Lauzon vs. Dillon Danis

Chael Sonnen vs. Renato Sobral

Josh Barnett (c) vs. Roberto Abreu

As reported by Michael Stets for MMAMania, you can only see it online – there will be no audience, and not even media present. The event will be competitors, coaches, and officials only, with a minimal number even of staff present.

The reason is apparently to try new camera angles and options that would not be available if filming was in a regular arena.

“We are experimenting with a more intimate setting for our athletes in their participation and focusing our resources on the pay-per-view experience for fans worldwide,” said founder Ralek Gracie to MMAFighting.com.

UFC lightweight Joe Lauzon said he is not even permitted to post a video blog from the event.

Joe Lauzon @JoeLauzon

Sadly we aren’t doing video blogs for @MetamorisPro this week. I grapple Saturday but they didn’t want us filming anything. Sorry!

Metamoris ‏@MetamorisPro

Blogs/vlogs are welcome, but we can’t allow shooting in the venue.

Joe Lauzon @JoeLauzon

I understand… Just takes the behind the scenes out when we can’t shoot behind the scenes. We don’t have to. It’s okay.

It is not even public where it will be held, so the only thing to do is get over to Metamoris.com and secure your spot online for the pre-sale price of $29.95.
