Keenan Cornelius will jump back into competition for the first time since February 2020 when he took on Roberto Jimenez at the inaugural Who's Number One event held in Costa Mesa, CA.
In an interesting turn of fate, the Legion Jiu-Jitsu founder will take on rising star Haisam Rida: the man who recently defeated Sloan Clymer - Keenan's student - at WNO: Lovato Jr. vs Gilbert Burns back in April. It will be Keenan’s first no-gi match since Sept. 2019 when he took home absolute gold at No-Gi Pans.
Though not a household name yet, Haisam Rida is poised to be a breakout star in 2021, his silky smooth technique belying his match-ending capabilities. The Assembly Jiu-Jitsu representative recently moved from Tokyo, Japan to Detroit, Michigan and Haisam has made it clear that he intends to leave a lasting impact in the heavyweight division.
