Combat Jiu Jitsu returns to action for the first time this year, as Combat Jiu Jitsu Worlds 2023: The Lightweights goes down live from Poliforum in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. For those unfamiliar, Combat Jiu Jitsu is EBI-rules Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with the added wrinkle of the availability of open-palm strikes on the ground, allowing for the possibility of a TKO finish.
A year ago, EBI 19 featured a 16-man welterweight tournament, where Alan Sanchez reigned supreme. He will look to repeat that success tonight in the featured 16-man welterweight CJJ tournament along with some other familiar faces.
