LIVE RESULTS – Combat Jiu-Jitsu Worlds 1 – Bantamweights and Lightweights
Sunday, November 12, 2017 at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT Eddie Bravo presents Combat Jiu Jitsu Worlds live at the Florentine Gardens in El Monte, California. The preliminary undercard with superfight matches will be shown on UFC Fight Pass, followed by the PPV main card available at InchbyInch.tv and UFC.tv.
Combat Jiu Jitsu Worlds is the first event where Bravo’s combat jiu jitsu ruleset will be the main feature. Combat jiu jitsu rules follow the standard EBI rules, but with the addition of open palm strikes to the face and body when your opponent is on the ground. They also have changed the rules for combat jiu jitsu worlds that open hand strikes are allowed in overtime rounds.
The bantamweights have already crowned a combat jiu jitsu champion at EBI 11 with Nick Honstein taking the belt, but this is the first time the lightweights are competing in combat jiu jitsu to determine their first champion.
Also, all four of the bantamweights from the inaugural combat jiu jitsu bracket at EBI 11 are back for this event and they each are matched up with an opponent who was not in the original 4 man bantamweight bracket, which might give the vets a bit of an advantage.
There will be two superfight matches as a preliminary undercard on UFC Fight Pass at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT, with the PPV main card following on either InchbyInch.tv or UFC.tv at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT.
