Roberto Jimenez Wins Welterweight Title Against Nathan Orchard At Combat Jiu-Jitsu Worlds

Tonight’s Combat Jiu-Jitsu Worlds: The Welterweights saw sixteen men go head to head in a tournament under CJJ/EBI rules to see who would be crowned the welterweight champion.

In the end, it was Roberto Jimenez and Nathan Orchard who submitted their way to the finals, and though Jimenez was quickly crowned the victor, their match wasn’t without some controversy.

Finals

Roberto Jimenez vs. Nathan Orchard

A scramble on the feet finished with Orchard arm-dragging Jimenez and ending up below his opponent in north-south. After delivering a few strikes to Orchard’s torso, Jimenez allowed Orchard to bridge and rotate. Jimenez nearly took the back, then ended up on the bottom and transitioned to a triangle. As Jimenez went to extend Orchard’s trapped arm, the referee stopped the match. Orchard seemed to deny tapping, but the decision was final, and Jimenez was declared the winner by submission at a minute and eighteen seconds into regulation, claiming the CJJ welterweight title.
