Was this the greatest weekend ever for grappling?
Definitely one of the most hectic – I’m super tired after coaching at two major events 😅
But I had to quickly write about CJI and Atos’ new millionaire – Kade Ruotolo 🥇
Is Kade Roots the most entertaining fighter in Jiu-Jitsu?🔥
I’m so proud of Kade
From breaking records as the youngest ever ADCC champ…
To becoming the first ever -80KG champ at CJI…
And now maybe the youngest millionaire in Jiu-Jitsu 😅👊🏽💰
What a crazy story.
(And all while he’s starting to break into the MMA world 👀)
All athletes from Atos at CJI represented our team so well.
Tye Ruotolo, despite getting injured, had some INCREDIBLE fights…
Luke Barbosa’s highlight reel calf slicer…
And Inacio Santos pushed the pace in the heavy division.
The event was amazing – one of the most entertaining tournaments in Jiu-Jitsu.
Well done to Craig Jones and his team – these are big steps forward in helping our athletes get paid.
Events like CJI will encourage more people to train grappling…
Kade Roots VS. Andrew Tackett might be THE most entertaining fight ever in the grappling world.
The world now knows just how great grappling can be…
And that Jiu-Jitsu athletes now can win serious 💰
What did you guys think of CJI?
