Over the weekend, former UFC fighter Pearl Gonzalez competed at a Combat Jiu-Jitsu event, earning a victory in the most grisly of fashions.
Gonzalez, who currently fights for Invicta FC as well, took on Lilian Borja in the hybrid rules organization. CJJ isn’t quite BJJ and it’s not quite MMA either. Open-handed strikes are allowed, but only on the ground.
In this match at Combat Jiu-Jitsu Worlds 3, Gonzalez managed to secure a triangle choke on her opponent. She couldn’t force the tap that way, so she grabbed an arm and cranked on that too. And then she broke that arm.
