Medusa Female Only Jiu Jitsu: Strawweight EBI and Bantamweight CJJ - LIVE RESULTS

Medusa Female Only Jiu Jitsu: Strawweight EBI and Bantamweight CJJ – LIVE RESULTS

Today, Saturday, March 12, at 5:30 PM PT/8:30 PM ET on Eddie Bravo’s Youtube Channel and 7 PM PT/10 PM ET on UFC Fight Pass, Medusa Female Only Jiu Jitsu will be held at Planet Hollywood Cancun in Cancun, Mexico.

Much like its inaugural event, today’s 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. There is also a special match or two on the card to break things up.

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. Match results will be updated below as the event progresses.
