Today, Saturday, October 1, 2021, at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET, Eddie Bravo’s newest creation – Medusa Female Only Jiu Jitsu – will be held at the Majestic Resorts Costa Mujeres in Cancun, Mexico.

This inaugural Medusa Female Only Jiu Jitsu event features two 8-woman brackets, a strawweight bracket with EBI rules and a bantamweight bracket with Combat Jiu Jitsu rules, so two champions will be crowned today. There is also a special match under the Combat Jiu Jitsu ruleset featuring Ffion Davies and Jennifer Rivera.

The EBI ruleset consists of 10 minutes of regulation, as well as three rounds of overtime from the back or spiderweb position if there is no submission within regulation. The combat jiu jitsu ruleset utilizes the EBI ruleset but also allows for open hand palm strikes once the action hits the ground. For CJJ matches 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. Much like Eddie Bravo’s other promotions, this event will be live streamed on UFC Fight Pass.  Match results will be updated below as the event progresses.
