Finishers Sub Only -125 lb Bracket Released

Show the Art/Finishers Sub Only 125 lb EBI Format This Saturday Dec. 1st, FREE ON YouTube 7pm EST

They turned down FloGrappling money/offers and fightpass to keep it free for anyone with access to WiFi. Can’t say much more than that. A lot of social media and folks claim they want to grow the sport and blah blah but these guys legitimately do believe that and show it with their actions and choices. I did their Open Tournament @ 145 and took a last minute spot when someone pulled out of the -155 Pro Event they held the following day. Great guys who love grappling, competition, and the sport as a whole and put a lot of time and energy into making a professional but accessible platform for competitors.

I’m expecting to see Sam Micale in the final. He’s beaten several of the competitors and is looking to avenge he some losses he has to other guys in the bracket. I’ve beaten two guys in the bracket, and having trained with Sam, I think it’s his event to win along with a few other experienced competitors.

I’ve got a Superfight at the event @ 145 lbs, EBI Format also.

Paulo Miyao Popped for Add’l 3 Month Penalty for Violating USADA Inelegiblity Ban

Guess they’re kinda saying they’ll enforce penalties.
He competed while serving his original two year ban (took them nearly a year to even confirm that one) and so they tacked on 3 more months of ineligibility time.

Throwback Adult Purple Belt Gi & NoGi Featherweight Submissions

Even back then, it was exceedingly rare that I won on points. If I won, I won by submission.

Double lapel choke from the back back when I still competed in the Gi:

These were my last 2 NoGi matches I did prior to moving to NYC:
