Thanks for keeping it free. I got kids and another on the way and not having to pay a subscription to see the best athletes in the world compete is really a treat.
@@raul_martinat some point Craig would have to pay 20 grand just to give that real 2nd place/B-Team vibe 😆 then we'll get 2 million for the grand prize winner 😂
Yo Craig, you are fucking killing it!!!!! Dude, the whole grappling community owes you for putting this on. Even us hobbyists, we looove that you're going to stream it all over the place - FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much respect Brother
Great callout on the Athletes responsibility to make this exciting. Even a jiu jitsu practitioner can’t say Yuri Simos’s absolute run last ADCC is worth watching.
He lost his last match and hasn’t looked like he rly has a shot at winning, so he took the lower league of adcc and left CJI to the pros. No shame on Jay tho, he’s a real beast!
Top tier, subtle, slight, ruthless trolling, from Jozef chen being found in a sweat shop in china 😂, to the "Love story, biggest match in fighting history" 😂😂 I am absolutely cackling, while intently listening to the phenomenal explanation! Craig, thanks for the laughs brother!
Same for Karate Combat, One Championship and nowadays UFC would do. Makes a lot of sense to just show ppl something where it's easily accessible rather than hide it behind a paywall.
Yes, they also need to really push the competitors to go for submissions because the average viewer who doesn’t do bjj will never get into it if it’s just scrambling type matches with no finish. Even for me who does bjj couldn’t get excited for it unless people are getting finished.
@@miguelladinodevera614kid karate combat is promotion/sport whose sole purpose is to launder dope money .. you really think they can pay athletes with their 200 person capped crowds or their 150k RUclips views per fight? You understand that’s literally around 290$ 🤣. The entire thing is front to launder money

Great presentation Craig. Exited to watch these athlets to compete. An many thanks to the rich friends of Craig the anonimous donators, let call them Marc. Thank you for doing this
This just shows how much time craig really does put into this sport - this guy has done his research - recalling exact positions and points and decisions from years ago .
@RichardYu1983 I remember some time ago Danaher speaking about dissuading Gordon from moving into MMA because he thought he could be the person to take BJJ mainstream. By the looks of things Craig will be the one to force the breakthrough
Maybe I am over thinking it. But I'm worried about the championship match. No one will ever tap. A tap is giving away $990,000. Actually seems dangerous. Maybe split up the $1m between top 3: 1. $600k, 2. $300k, 3. $100k. Or something like that. I know it is already set but just worried about the safety of the athletes.
They will warm up with North south then scissor in octopus guard. Craig will let Gabi attempt a mother's milk then work his way to her back after they are lubed up and slip his way in for the choke

No volkanalfski no bo nickel…no UFC fighters at all, which is kinda common sense BUT haven’t they been allowed ADCC in past? In be real curious to know if double standard.
ADCC had plenty of time to raise the money. It should not have taken an athlete to make them realize things needed to change. They should literally be thanking Craig for saving jujitsu. Craig got his own sugar, daddy and what a couple months. ADCC could have talked to the people in Abu Dhabi or wherever their promoters are and ask them to put in another $50,000. Craig did say if the prize was $25,000 he would never have even started CJI.

Having the viewing on RUclips is a great move. It’s like boxing in the uk used to be on free tv and it exploded and then was ppv ever since

Congratulations Craig. I admire the point your trying to make.
These angled mats are an absolute game changer, securing dominant postions has never looked so good
Massive Craig you have done a great job - you and Seth and the rest of the promotion crew
So awesome how he set this up. Streamed for free and even thought of the fans enough so the fans didn’t have to choose. They can watch both
id probably cry real tears of joy if william tackett wins over 80
Quick breakdown before we lose your attention to the Laranja interview
For real
Restock the steroids water bottle. I’ve been waiting for months and months bro 😭
I would give You a red belt for what you'll do for bjj and humanity. Thanks Craig. Never thought I'd get life lessons from a wild Aussie 😂
CJI will be later than midnight in my time zone. Totally willing to mess my sleep schedule up for this. Can't wait!
Totally worth it.

Using Meta instead of FB says it all. Zuck was my first thought as funds guy…right on
mad props to Craig.
Craig's a real one.
this lineup is blood sport level shit, I can't wait
Fuck Craig you're cool man, that's legit. I'm hoping it will be a great event
hahahaha that Nicky Ryan pic is savage
Just from a promotion standpoint - this is fucking genius marketing. Great work (
Changing the game! This will be history making.
I think Nicky is going to surprise with his cardio
Great move streaming on B Team.

Thanks for everything from been legit to content and sticking it to the bully's of adcc

Craig roasting everyone on the -80 and +80kg is pure gold. 😂
What I want to know is if Buchecha is doing the 80+
We tried
Who do we think plays bottom more, Craig or Gabbie Garcia? after we find that out we can talk jui jitsu

sounds great
your awesome Craig
What happens to competitors who come in overweight? Are they immediately dq'd and do they have replacement competitors ready to jump in?
I think you will compete but won’t get the mill ., all tho if you crazy over then …
nobody missing weight for 1million
just saying
Do you think a killer going after 1m is going to lose at the door coming in overweight? never.
good job craig jones
Been waiting for you at the pool
Easily one of the best promoters ever.
Great man! Where did you get that jumpsuit? I want one.
Now, the only question that matters. Will Renato Laranja be the referee for Gabi vs Craig?
I’m super excited for this

CJI should be yearly on the same or different day. It would be another comp to draw eyes to BJJ. Similar to invitationals in bodybuilding.
I'd spaz my way through this divison. Can't tap if I don't have a free arm to tap
