Craig Jones (Absolute MMA) vs Matheus Diniz (Marcelo Garcia)

Headlining the show will be KASAI champion and IBJJF Pan No-Gi champion Matheus Diniz versus ADCC standout and sub-only superfight phenome Craig Jones. 

Undoubtedly one of the most intriguing matches on the card. Incredibly, this is the first time the two fighters have ever crossed paths, and we can’t think of a more interesting clash of styles. 

Craig is, of course, renowned for his half-butterfly guard and leglock attacks, while Diniz is generally considered a more traditional player, opting to secure positional dominance before hunting for submissions. Perhaps the real question behind this match is if Craig Jones can reignite the hype train after the match with Rousimar Palhares (a match he won, but was tough to watch). 

Ross Nicholls (Roger Gracie Academy) vs Sean McDonagh (GB Derby)

Ross Nicholls is one of the most promising grapplers out of the U.K. A veteran of Figure4promotions events, Nicholls recently had a 40-minute match with Jack Grant that he eventually was able to finish by armbar. A British national champion, Nicholls brings a wealth of experience to the plate and is a formidable opponent for any takers.

Sean McDonagh hails from GB derby and is a rising talent. The winner of local super fights and tournaments, McDonagh is giving the opportunity to make a name for himself on an international level with a big with of Nicholls.

Stuart Cooper vs Ben Dyson

The prolific jiu-jitsu filmmaker Stuart Cooper returns to competition this weekend against Ippon Gym. Representing Tiger Muay Thai, Cooper has been ramping up his competition schedule over the past few months: He was recently seen at Super BOA 8 in June where he took third place after a tough match with DJ Jackson. Look out for Cooper's crushing top game. 

Ben Dyson is a Roy Dean black belt and a man who doesn’t stay in one place long. He’s been spotted recently living and competing in Argentina, as well as traveling around the united states living the jiu-jitsu lifestyle. Check some highlights from a recent beach grappling competition Dyson competed at.
