Kasai 2 - April 14th Preview: How it Looks Thus Far

Streaming on Flograppling......HERE. We. Go. 

The Grand Prix by itself is worth tuning in to see. 
We've got....a bunch of guys coming off of productive recent months: 
Craig Jones - coming off of the ADCC performance last fall, recently winning the Polaris MW belt whilst facing and submitting Jake Shields and looking for a better showing than his last Kasai match which was a debatable points/loss against Murilo Santana. 
Boogeyman Martinez - recently won the Combat JiuJitsu WW title in a bracket format event.
Dante Leon - following a successful run at black belt, he's moved up to black belt and is competing still in both Gi and NoGi with a combination of takedowns top and bottom, and solid submission wins to his credit 
DJ Jackson
Kasai Pro Qualifiers winner: Calvanese - won the Kasai 2 qualifer event this past March facing a stiff pool of competitors and beating LeClerc of Tristar in the finals on points 
Matheus Diniz - always on the grind in the IBJJF events (having also previously competed in EBI). Interested to see what his gameplan is for 6 minute matches in a pool of competitors with such diverse styles. 
And 2 spots as yet unnanounced for the bracket......

In addition, there are superfights announced:
Nicky Ryan vs Geo Martinez
Eddie Cummings vs Renato Canuto
Frank Rosenthal vs Zach Maslany
