JUNE 25, 2018 – The beautiful San Diego skyline set the scenery for yet another historic event in Eddie Bravo Invitational’s female division where the first ever bantamweight was crowned.
For this elimination style tournament Bravo headlined some of grappling’s most prominent bantamweights, a mix of points based and sub-only athletes in arguably the first EBI event with an even representation of IBJJF and sub only style representatives.
