Saturday, February 23rd
GrappleFest 4 will be streaming on FloGrappling for those of you who care enough to support the growth of the sport by actually paying for a streaming service. If you're one of those guys tagging all your posts "JiuJitsu lifestyle" but don't even bother signing up to pay $10 or $20 a month to make events possible, then re-evaluate "how much JiuJitsu changed your life" and "saved your life" blah blah blah. You'll pay $3.00 for coffee at Starbucks but won't sign up to pay for events to be made possible each month:
"Main Event: Craig Jones (Absolute MMA) v Gabriel Arges (Gracie Barra)
Co-main event: Lachlan Giles (Absolute MMA) v Bradley Hill (GB) u80kgs
Ffion Davies (ECJJ) v Christine Martin (GB) u65kgs"
Sunday, February 24th
Finishers Sub Only EBI format event: 
I was scheduled to compete but as I'm recovering from ACL/meniscus surgery, that's a no go. The day before, on Saturday, they host an Open tournament for the submission grapplers wanting to do EBI format, which is great for the sport. The pro bracket on Sunday racket features Keith Krikorian, Frank Rosenthal, and JM Holland amongst others. It also features a number of superfights, It will stream live and free on YouTube. I was super excited to compete EBI format again. I've beaten 3 of the guys in the bracket previously, but alas, the life of competing is marred by injury at times.
