Gordon Ryan's next opponent NoGi in ACB following the points loss to Vinny. The 1 minute of no guard pulling, and round format poses some interesting tactical decision to make. Will be interesting to see how he adjusts to the format and the tactics of heavy, experience black belts looking to score points and win rounds rather than the sub only format and EBI overtime.
IBJJF World's coming up at the end of this month...interesting to see how things shake out with some of the more notable contenders facing one another throughout the year at ACB (and for that matter, what will come of Gi events outside of ACB and a few unsigned black belts of note? 5 Grappling used to put on brackets in various weight classes but ACB has signed most of the available talent to exclusivity outside of open/IBJJF events.....). It's crazy to check the IBJJF calendar and see how many events are going on each and every month....and the growth of NoGi, sub only/ebi format events rounding out the calendar in addition to Polaris, F2Win, and Kasai.....great time to be a grappling fan.
Who will Eddie Cummings face now that he won the Kasai strap from Canuto?
Will Dillon Danis respond to Neiman Gracie's call to fight in Bellator?
Will Lovato fight for the belt in Bellator this year?
Can Mackenzie Dern make weight?
Kasai is holding it's next welterweight tournament after a pro qualifier at it's June 16th tournament in NYC. Interesting to see who they get to fill out the bracket. I attended the last two events in person and saw some great superfights in addition to the brackets they've put on.
