After the first day of the Craig Jones Invitational (CJI) yesterday, which featured the round of 16 and quarterfinal matches, today saw the semifinals and finals. Additionally, we watched two super fights, one of which Craig Jones called the “Battle of the Sexes.”
From the start of the event and the list of competitors, it was clear that Nicky Rodriguez was the heavy favorite in this tournament. After 4 matches, Nicky secured 4 submissions. In the semifinal and final matches, he defeated Adam Bradley and Felipe Andrew by rear-naked choke (RNC), thus winning the grand prize of one million dollars.
After his victory, Rodriguez didn’t miss mentioning his biggest rival, Gordon Ryan.
“The only thing better than one million dollars is two million dollars,” – Nicky Rod said, continuing to call out Gordon Ryan.
“Since I know I’m the best grappler in the world, I want a match with Gordon Ryan. My million against your million, winner takes all. Let’s do the fight on the B-Team YouTube channel,” – Rodriguez declared.
