SEPTEMBER 28, 2019 and soon enough we will see one of jiu-jitsu’s most polarizing athletes, AJ Agazarm, returning the mixed martial arts (MMA) arena, with the famous Bellator promotion, where he will be facing Jonathan Quiroz, a fight that will take place in the featherweight division (145lbs).
The match against Quiroz was the reason why Agazarm will not be competing at the ADCC World Championship this weekend, where he was regarded as one of the 66-kilogram division’s top seeds after his silver medal in 2017. Instead, the Nick Diaz Academy representative will be putting his cage fighting capabilities to the test against Jonathan, who is currently 3-3 as a professional cage fighter, against AJ’s 1-1 record.
