To skirt UFC contracts, four MMA fighters will instead compete in submission-only grappling matches, with the main event being a 10-minute Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) match between UFC contenders one division apart in Jean Silva vs Marlon Vera. The other key grappling match up is former UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo taking on Raul Rosas Jr.
BJJ legend Joao Miyao will also compete on the card, while the rest of the line up features bareknuckle boxing fights.
Follow along below with live results and highlights from the mixed combat sports fight card.
