Background
The most talked about tournament in jiu jitsu’s submission only movement is back for its 8th edition. Although only a few weeks ago the Eddie Bravo Invitational was strongly pushing for a girls only card for EBI 8, the promoters have since reconsidered their original plans (likely due to the lack of enthusiasm felt in by grappling aficionados) turning their focus to a brand new men’s division of 185lb’ers.
EBI 8 marks the promotion’s first attempt at middleweight since starting the tournament back in 2013, and with an event geared for entertainment and fast submissions, the chosen line up has not diverged from previous endeavours: A mix of veterans, rising stars and lesser known talent.
