Women's Ju-Jitsu Champion Revolutionizes Sport - GoldenPalace.com Has Her Backside Covered

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Internet casino GoldenPalace.com scored prime exposure with their latest eBay purchase, by winning a $2,225 auction for advertising space on the rear of Brazilian Ju-Jitsu champion Gazzy Parman's shorts for her historic competition in an elite submission grappling tournament that has never before included women.

At just 22 years old, Parman has already built a formidable resume and has established a huge following all over the world. She will now be breaking new ground and making history by competing in the Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC), the biggest elitist submission grappling tournament in the world.

"After so many years of this sport being alive and growing so rigorously, it has still been the biggest challenge to bring together the best female grapplers in the world," wrote Parman on her eBay auction page. "They have never allowed women to fight until this year, and I will be the first woman to win it in the 60 kg and under division."

GoldenPalace.com has a history of supporting competitors in the squared circle, having sponsored several champion boxers including the Undisputed Middleweight Champion Bernard Hopkins.

"We are extremely proud to be supporting Gazzy in her ground-breaking cause," said GoldenPalace.com CEO Richard Rowe. "We wish her the best of luck in the tournament and hope that she paves the way for women everywhere to compete in a sport traditionally dominated by men."

The ADCC will take place on May 28 and 29 in Long Beach, California. This is the first time the competition will be hosted in the United States, and the worldwide popularity of the sport ensures widespread media coverage.
