Just 3 months into 2022, jiu-jitsu fans around the world will be gifted a weekend packed with top-of-the-food-chain grapplers.
The second promotion for the all-women’s Medusa circuit features an 8-woman CJJ Bantamweight tournament with returning Medusa Champions Brianna Ste Marie and Fatima Kline, plus Bia Mesquita, Ffion Davies, Juliana Miller, Gillian Robertson, and Nikki Sullivan, with one spot still waiting to be filled.
Kline, October’s 115lb. Medusa Champion is moving up to Bantamweight to contest for the 135lb. belt.
Medusa 2 will also feature an 8-woman EBI Strawweight tournament. The line-up has yet to be announced, but with Kline moving up to bantamweight, 16-year old Trinity Pun(who lost to Kline in the finals of Medusa 1) may have a shot at redemption.
The following day, EBI 19 is set to showcase the men’s Welterweight division as grapplers Tye Ruotolo, Nicky Ryan, Nathan Orchard, Oliver Taza, Dante Leon, Nick Ronan, and more will compete for the Championship and a cash prize.
Both events will stream exclusively on UFC Fight Pass.
