Get a quick rundown of everything happening in Brazilian jiu-jitsu in just a few minutes
What's Happening In Jiu-Jitsu
-Polaris 37 went down in Dublin, Ireland, and it was a raucous night that say Team Polaris beat Team BJJ Stars in squads action by a score of 20-10. Especially notable was the late inclusion of purple belt Callun O'Malley, a purple belt who has only been training a few years who was able to secure a submission win over ADCC veteran Ruan Alvarenga.
-In the feature match of the evening, Helena Crevar defended her -70kg Polaris Championship with a submission win over Amanda Pamela Nicole. This marks Helena's sixteenth submission win in a row, dating back to her decision victory over Adele Fornarino at CJI 2.
-UFC BJJ 9 happened in Las Vegas, with Mason Fowler retaining his promotional championship belt by submission. Also picking up wins were Ffion Davies, NIck Rodriguez, and a returning Gilbert Burns among others.
-UFC BJJ also announced that their next card will feature Brianna Ste-Marie taking on Rebeca Lima for their featherweight title. Also in action will be Andrew Tackett, Cassia Moura, and Adele Fornarino.
-Fight to Win 317 went down in Seattle, Washington. The most notable grappler on the card would likely be black belt World medalist Maria Ruffatto-Gilpin, who won by submission.
