The lightweights took to the mats to battle it out for the Combat Jiu Jitsu world championships this past weekend and it was B-Team’s Ethan Crelinsten who ended up taking home the belt. He submitted all four of his opponents within regulation time, including Tenth Planet’s Nathan Orchard. This performance bodes incredibly well for Crelinsten as he gets ready to make a run at the 66kg division at ADCC 2022.
In the semi-finals he beat out one of his teammates, Damien Anderson, who actually made the most memorable moment of the entire night earlier on. Anderson took on Adrian Madrid in the very first match of the event and as Madrid started to attack his legs, Anderson postured up and delivered two hard strikes to his opponent.
