Back fro the Subfighter Men's No Gi Classic beginners tournament. We had 7 guys all competing in their first Jiu Jitsu tournament today.

Salvador Gonzalez takes 1st place & Tyler Nakashima takes 3rd place at 135lbs & under.

Matthew Lopez takes 1st place at 150lbs.

RJ Draper takes 1st, Carlos Ardines takes 2nd at 165 lbs.

Fred Adams & Michael Guillory Jr. didn't medal, but next time!

I got tattoos of my original team (Apex Jiu Jitsu) and the team I've been with since the end of Apex (Subfighter MMA). That is all .

Almost 2 years since our last belt promotions thanks to COVID-19.

Blue Belts:
Kent Kawahara, Tyler Nakashima, John Conway, Ivan Sanchez, Omar Hussein, Carlos Ardines, RJ Draper

Purple Belts:
Josh Vogelsang, Jesse Herrera

So we got the call at 4:30 AM Tuesday letting us know that Gabriel Green would be making his UFC debut Saturday.

Gabe hasn't fought in nearly 2 years due to injuries/surgeries and had 4 days notice for a fight in a weight class above his normal weight class at a time where everyone's training is diminished due to Covid-19.

He lots a decision, but he definitely raised his stock and gained fans with his performance (which in my opinion should have been fight of the night).

Just wait until you see him with a full fight camp!

We had 2 fighters making their MMA debut on this card.

Tyler Nakashima wins via 2nd round KO by punch.

Tayler Griswold wins via unanimous decision.
