DECEMBER 4, 2016 marked the much anticipated return of the FIVE Super League. FIVE took the jiu jitsu world by storm a couple of years ago, launching a series of events that ran up and down the United States. Although very well accepted by the sport’s community, these grappling events came to a halt on August 2015, after the promotion’s first Super League Event – more on the 1st event here.
To celebrate the return of 5 Grappling promoter Shawn Fowler set a star studded event with some of the sport’s leading welterweights while adding also a huge undercard with some very interesting superfights. While all this was set to take off Fowler also announced a 5 city US Tour planned for next year, starting in Florida. A year that is already looking to set new records in terms of high level competition for the top tier athletes.
Below are the full results of the FIVE Super League II tournament and superfights.
