Johnatha Alves Steps Up to Face Levi Jones-Leary

Unfortunately another competitor has been taken out of the upcoming IBJJF FloGrappling GP due to an injury. Replacing Andy Murasaki is the star black belt and three-time IBJJF Pan champion Jonatha Alves of Art of Jiu-Jitsu. Alves and Levi have never faced off before. Alves makes for an interesting replacement. He's a product of AOJ with world-class berimbolo skills and surgically-precise guard passing. Jones-Leary is known for his berimbolo but has been toying with baratoplatas and tarikoplatas from unusual and creative positions. Whereas Murasaki vs Jones-Leary was a clear case of style of style, this match is a lot harder to predict. One thing is for certain, the master strategist Gui Mendes will have concocted a clever gameplan for Jones-Leary.

The Trash Talk Is Real, Gordon vs Felipe is Personal | Grappling Bulletin (Ep. 66)

The six year rivalry between Gordon Ryan and Felipe Pena has seen more trash talk between two athletes than maybe any other rivalry in jiu-jitsu. It is 100% truly authentic, and it is no act – they genuinely don’t like each other. Felipe Pena doesn’t appreciate Gordon’s long history of online harassment against him, much less his behavior in his most recent match against Pedro Marinho, Felipe's friend, teammate and former student. He believes Ryan was disrespectful in his conduct during the match, and has said he hopes to teach Gordon a lesson. It’s obvious where Gordon‘s problem with Felipe come from. Gordon has only lost a handful of matches in his career, and Pena accounts for two of them. For somebody as hypercompetitive as Gordon, that’s a red flag to a bull. Gordon won’t rest until he has achieved revenge, but even then there is no guarantee his trash talk will come to an end. 1.

Full Line Up for IBJJF FloGrappling Grand Prix

If you follow us on Instagram you would’ve seen that throughout last week we announced the contestants in both the men’s and women’s blackbelt GPs, scheduled for August 12. During Thursday night’s WNO broadcast we exclusively announced that we will also host two featured superfights: heavyweights Erberth Santos and Fellipe Andrew, and a middleweight match between Andy Murasaki and Levi Jones-Leary. This is the first time that IBJJF has ever hosted a black belt GP for female athletes and the cash prize is the same as for the men, an historic moment in the continued fight for equality in jiu-jitsu. This summer‘s focus definitely appears to be no-gi, but there are still many people out there who appreciate a good old-fashioned gi jiu-jitsu match and that definitely applies to us here at FloGrappling. The exclusive invitational event will act as a showcase for some of the very best gi grapplers in the world today.
