Last nigh Eddie Bravo Invitational 8 took place. The tournament featured a 16 men Middleweight bracket and a superfight featuring Liz Carmouche and Maria Henderson.
A lot of leg lock specialists were on deck and naturally the scores reflect that – close to 50% of finishes were by heel hook.
The favorite to win was past EBI victor Gordon Ryan. In round 1 he went up against Matt Arroyo. He managed to secure an inside heel hook and come out unscathed.
Elsewhere in round 1:
Hillebrand wins against Aaron Johnson via inside heel hook
Kyle Chambers wins against Josh Hayden via outside heel hook
Devhonte Johnson wins against Lucas Rocha via overtime (fastest submission)
Eduardo Telles wins against Matt Secor via overtime (quickest escapes)
Kyle Griffin wins against Quentin Rozenwieg via straight ankle-lock
