February is proving to be one of the best months of the year for professional jiu-jitsu. After Kasai’s big show this past weekend, and with FloGrappling’s “Who’s #1” super-fight event as well as Fight 2 Win’s 136 show, BJJ Fanatics is throwing another top-notch tournament featuring some of the best light-weights on the international circuit.
This Grand Prix style format featuring EBI rules will feature athletes under the 170 lbs weight limit and is hitting the screens on the 29th of Feb. (yes, 2020 is a leap year). So far we have quite a few big names already confirmed. They are (click on the names to check bios):
