Today, Sunday, March 8, 2020, at 5 PM PT/8 PM ET, Eddie Bravo’s Combat Jiu Jitsu Worlds will be held at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

The event features a 16-man featherweight combat jiu jitsu style tournament, plus special matches to break up the action in the tournament bracket. The combat jiu jitsu ruleset allows for open hand palm strikes once the action hits the ground. There is also a “get down” rule if the match does not hit the ground for a full minute, which requires the competitors to get down on the mat and start from there to allow for the palm strikes. As usual, the event will be live streamed on UFC Fight Pass.  Match results will be updated below as the event progresses.
