Here is a breakdown of the Main Character Jiu-Jitsu Event 5 Main Matches.

Kyle Chambers Vs. Oliver Taza

  • Kyle Chambers takes a stylish and creative approach to his craft. He follows the beat of his drum while being expressive. Chambers was a finalist on the FloGrappling reality show "Who's Next" and is a fan favorite.
  • Oliver Taza is a veteran in the sport of Jiu-Jitsu and has made a career as an excellent leg locker. Taza has been at the highest level for years but still wants to break through to new heights.

Shane Curtis Vs. Max Henson

  • Prepare for an intense match between two highly durable grapplers, each with a track record of competing in numerous matches annually, in this 170 Ibs bout.
  • Both are known for their daring approach in the submission game, always on the lookout for a potential submission, even if it means risking a self-submission. Shane Curtis, in particular, has a unique submission in his arsenal, the 'Goth Lock', which has proven to be a game-changer in many of his matches.

Richie “Boogieman” Martinez Vs. Nonso Ebede

  • This will be a heavyweight battle between two black belt veterans in the sport of Jiu-Jitsu. A win for either fighter will only improve their lengthy resumes.
