Sunday’s edition of the Eddie Bravo Invitational brought fans back to the mats for grappling action, but this time added in a special twist: the debut of Combat Jiu Jitsu (CJJ). To go along with the special wrinkle in the sport, the event crowned a new welterweight champion in Gordon Ryan – a man that’s familiar with success in the EBI format.
Ryan performed up to expectations and walked out of EBI 11 with his third title for the promotion. He submitted Jean Paul Lebosnoyani by rear naked choke in round one and Chris McKarski via guillotine in round two.
