A prova de que esta final pode entrar para a história da modalidade foram as semifinais que acabaram neste instante, com Jacaré e Margarida fazendo placares elásticos em cima de FabrÃ*cio Werdum e Marcel Louzado, respectivamente. Abrindo as semis, Jacaré não tomou conhecimento do vice-campeão do ADCC 2003, fazendo 13x0 após dar quatro quedas, raspar e passar a guarda, levantando o público que lota o ginásio do Sesc.

Logo em seguida, um show de técnica de Fernando Margarida, que acabou com todas as dúvidas de quem não sabia se ele seria o mesmo Margarida campeão mundial de 2001. Com um placar de 30x2, Margarida deixou a todos impressionados com a sua técnica, derrotando Louzado, a surpresa deste absoluto, que venceu estrelas como Saulo Ribeiro e Eduardo Telles. Resta saber, quem levará o prêmio de R$5 mil dado ao campeão deste absoluto.
