On this special bonus episode Maine and Emil wrap up the rest of the weeks BJJ events that were too numerous for episode 85. As a result this special mid week episode recaps Fight to Win 116, Midwest Finishers 2, and previews Sub Spectrum.
We kick off the weeks show immediately with the recap of Fight to Win 116. We run through the fight of the night and the submission of the night for the black belts and the brown belts. Emil has choice words for matches contested entirely in 50/50. Plus the hosts talk about how awesome the Judo match on the card was. We go in depth on Juan Cleber vs John Erlandson and how scary hidden toe holds are. Plus talk about a very strange and unorthodox Ippon that took place in the Fabricio Silva vs August Meissner Judo superfight.
After that we move into the title match recap for Midwest Finishers 2. Talking about how impressive and exciting the title match between William Tackett and Alan Sanchez was. Great leg lock transitions, plus we go into some changes we have observed in the meta game surrounding leg locks on a macro scale. We also talk about brother, and sibling combo stand outs as Andrew Tackett also had a stand out performance on this card. Plus the team voices their amazement for William Tackett's back to back wins at Third Coast Grappling 2, and Midwest Finishers 2 multiple states away only a day apart.
After that we do a brief preview of Sub Spectrum 8 featuring a no-gi absolute bracket for the men and a flyweight bracket for the women. With a few names we saw this last weekend such as Jordan Holy. As well as Derrick Flag also in the same lineup for the men.
