UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber is currently slated to make his combat jiu-jitsu debut against Elias Anderson, a world champion in the sport, at CJJ Worlds 2022 in Cancun, Mexico. These two masters of their respective sports will duke it out in a ruleset often considered the intermediary between pure sport jiu-jitsu and all-out MMA.
In the team duels, where a $50,000 grand prize sits on the line, the card will feature major talent from the jiu-jitsu world, including ADCC 2022 veterans Keith Krikorian of 10th Planet and Ethan Crelinsten of B-Team, along with Damien Anderson, Ben Eddy, Nathan Orchard, and more. They’re joined by UFC fighters Chad Mendes and Song Yadong to round out the MMA representation on the show.
