This Saturday Metamoris 5 will be held at the Long Beach Convention Center starting up at 5pm/2pm EST/PST, headlined by a rematch of Pride classic between Renzo Gracie and Kazushi Sakuraba. This match sits atop a solid night of grappling, despite it being hit by the injury bug about as hard as a UFC event.
The event will stream online on Metamoris.com for $30.
For those unfamiliar with Metamoris, it is a jiu jitsu promotion that holds events of “fight cards” rather than the normal tournament structure. The matches are 20 minutes with no rounds and no points, the only way to win a match is by submission. A breakdown of the card can be found here.
On the card is Garry Tonon, who is taking on Zak Maxwell, both exceptional young grapplers. Tonon plays a very unqiue and unorthodox, submission oriented game that fans of MMA grappling will likely find very entertaining. So here is a somewhat old BJJ Scout video breaking down his game in a really excellent fashion, including his win at Metamoris 4.
