This week on the show Maine and Zak recap CFFC BJJ 16.

We kick up we kick off with the recap section of the show discussing how CFFC BJJ is now a direct feeder to the UFC BJJ adopting the same rules used in that organization with the three round system and the same judging criteria.

We talk about the main event of Oliver Taza vs Andrew Kochell we discussed some of the passing work from Taza coupled against the entries that Andrew was attempting to make into the legs. We discussed the back in the end of the first round for Taza and then discuss the finishing triangle for Taza in the second round.

In the Co-Main event, we discussed the heavyweight matchup between Alexandr Romanov vs Brian Newman. We talked about the foot sweep in the first round from Romonov and then the takedown cattlecatch turnover that Alexandr hit in the second round to eventually take the Beckwith and get the rear naked choke.

We also broke down Max Hanson vs Steve Joachim talking about the leg lock entries that Max was able to hit early and the very interesting front split that Steve decided to try and counter the entries with. We also talked about the finishing sequence with the knee bar transition into an inside heel hook.

Also on the card we discussed Savion Maranon vs Tyler Carroll discussing Savion control and then his triangle roll through to Americana and then an Armbar finish.
