EUG's 180lb 8-Man Tournament Features Top Grapplers, Set For Saturday
EUG Promotions returns Saturday with a card headlined by an 8-man tournament featuring stars like Oliver Taza, Andy Varela, Sebastian Rodriguez, and more
EUG Promotions has been steadily putting on entertaining shows, and they return with another show this Saturday that features an 8-man no-gi bracket featuring several top-15 ranked black belt grapplers. Catch all of the action live on FloGrappling, including several super fights and tournaments among colored belt athletes in both gi and no-gi.
The eight athletes in the 180lb bracket will be:
- #10 at 185 Oliver Taza
- #12 at 185 Sebastian Rodriguez
- #11 at 170 Andy Varela
- Victor Silverio
- Igor Feliz
- Rodrigo Caporal
- Eduardo Avalar
- Andres Alejandro Granados Cruz
Many of these athletes have experience against one another, including Oliver and Sebastian who have now faced off three times. Sebastian won the first two matchups but then Oliver won their most recent meeting by split decision at WNO. Oliver also recently defeated Varela in a 40 minute super fight at Main Event Grappling, so he is the likely favorite heading into this event.
Also featured on the card will be Marco Mendes taking on Michael Alvarez in no-gi action. Mendes was a 2023 IBJJF brown belt World Champion and continues to impress in his debut season at black belt.
