Another week, another new grappling promotion. It looks like the UFC have capitalized on the strength of Quintet and will be streaming a new team grappling promotion live on Fight Pass.
Kinektic will be holding their first show in Anaheim on August 16 and the tournament features teams captained by familiar names. UFC veterans Chael Sonnen, Anthony Smith and Chris Lytle will all be at the helm of teams.
In addition to the UFC stars, BJJ ace Craig Jones will also be captaining a team which features some of the best names in grappling including Lachlan Giles, Edwin Najmi and unheralded super prospect Nicky Rodriguez.
