July 27th - Craig Jones vs Gilbert Burns @ Grappling Industries Tampa

Anyone else find it odd burns is out here doing thrnse grappling matches with no MMA fights booked? Curiouser and curiouser...sure is....interesting. 

Stylistically, it's interesting in the sense that Burns was previously heel hooked by Garry Tonon after hitting all manner of takedowns and such. Craig Jones is coming off of leg locking Tim Spriggs who frankly, I expected to do better against Craig. Spriggs for all his time spent working on his top game, and wrestling, ended up in some bad spots while trying to pass pretty quickly. I expected him to do better at the Matheus Diniz completely parallel to the mat, on both knees, hand fight and maybe flail/jump to half-guard to then pass style, but Spriggs found himself leg locked after trying to extricate his leg standing and turning. 

Anyhow, Craig Jones is considerably bigger than Garry, and I expect will submit Gilbert once there's a couple prolong actualy grappling on the mat exchanges.
