Dillon Danis & Mansher Khera Switch Teams For IBJJF 2017 Worlds
One of the big questions hanging over Dillon Danis' and Mansher Khera's suspensions from Marcelo Garcia's gym was what would happen when they wanted to compete in IBJJF tournaments. 

Where would they train? Who would they represent in tournaments? And what happens if they get matched with one of their former teammates in competition? 

We have the answers to the first two questions: Danis and Khera have been doing their Worlds training camp in Las Vegas with Roberto Drysdale, and they have officially signed up for Worlds as Zenith BJJ. 

Danis and Khera were originally entered as Alliance, but this was updated following the final team correction deadline date, which was May 25. 

Zenith BJJ was founded by Robert Drysdale and Rodrigo Cavaca in 2013 when they left the Checkmat team. Drysdale is based in Las Vegas and trains athletes such as Renato Canuto and brown belt Moises Lopez.
