FloSports have officially announced the main card for Submission Underground 3, which will be broadcast live on FloGrappling January 29.
Dillon Danis and AJ Agazarm will headline the event. Danis is notable not only for being a black belt under the legendary Marcelo Garcia, but for training with the equally legendary UFC Lightweight Champion and former Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor.
AJ Agazarm is a multiple-time World and Pan-Am Champion. He has memorable matches with MMA superstars such as Jake Shields and high-level grapplers such as Vagner Rocha.
Garry Tonon will also be taking on Hector Lombard at SUG3.
Tonon, of course, needs no introduction in Brazilian jiu-jitsu circles. The Tom DeBlass black belt and Danaher Death Squad leg hunter holds an EBI championship belt in three different weight classes as well as championships in the World and Pan-Am tournaments.
@jeffreyschu #RegrannHector Lombard is a welterweight in the UFC and a former Olympic judoka. He holds a fourth-degree black belt in judo and a second-degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. He is 34-6-1 in mixed martial arts.
Tonon won’t be the only one representing the Danaher Death Squad at SUG3. Black belt and partner in crime, Gordon Ryan, will also be making an appearance when he takes on Jeff Monson.
Well-known for his sense of humor and trash-talking, Ryan has the skills to back each and every one of his words up. He won the World No-Gi Championship at brown belt and is the EBI 6 Champion.
Also like his teammate, Ryan will be taking on a mixed martial artist. However, “mixed martial artist” is only one of the titles Jeff Monson holds. Besides taking on the likes of Josh Barnett, Daniel Cormier, and even Fedor Emelianenko, Monson is also a BJJ black belt and NCAA Division I wrestler. Though he is twice Gordon Ryan’s age, that should be enough to give the young DDS member a challenge.

The last fight on the main card will feature Jeff Glover against Chad Mendes.
Glover is famous for the way he taunts his opponents on the mat – intentionally giving up his back and putting himself in some of the oddest yet most effective positions the BJJ world has seen. He holds wins over big-name BJJ competitors such as Caio Terra and Chris Haueter.
That iron patriot joint
