This week on the show, Maine and Corey recap Day 2 of the Craig Jones Invitational 2. We recap all the action from Day 2 of the biggest-paying event in grappling history.
In the recap section we talk about the two paths to the finals.
First, we break down the strategic decisions and matchs between New Wave and Atos. We talk about some of the match controversy and the 50,000 dollar submission bonus that seemed to work to create action.
In the recap of B-Team vs Team Australasia we discuss the sheer dominance of Victor Hugo, who single-handedly pushed B-Team to the finals over Team Australasia with back-to-back submissions and $100,000 in bonus money.
We also cover the women's $100,000 final, breaking down Helena Crevar's tactical decision making against Sarah Galvão that saw her secure the Aoki lock/ ankle lock finish to be crowned champion.
In the finals Quintet break down we go into the controversial of the B-Team vs. New Wave final. We discuss the five consecutive draws that led to the draw and the 47-47 score as well as criteria for scoring 10-8 vs a 10-9 round. We then go into rule writing and interpretation that crowned B-Team the winners based on Nick Rodriguez's dominant final match. As well as how edge case rules can play a factor in team understanding of the rules. Finally, we discuss where the event's anonymous benefactor stepped in to award New Wave a second $1 million prize, making both teams champions.
Next week we will break down the First ADCC European trials for 2025.
