Even as the coronavirus rages in Brazil, Fepa Lopes, an experienced martial arts event promoter, has been working intensely to return with a big card for BJJ Stars. The comeback event, slated to take place on July 25, will be headlined by Felipe Preguiça vs. Kaynan Duarte.
But the challenge faced by Fepa went beyond filling out a compelling list of BJJ matches for this very welcome, rare live sporting event around this time. Restrictions related to safety due to the pandemic made BJJ Stars opt for a closed-doors event, with all athletes getting tested and all guidelines by the World Health Organization being followed.
Here’s the full card, which will be streamed by pay-per-view through bjjstars.tv:
