JULY 04, 2022, this Sunday grappling fans had the chance to witness another edition of the UFC Fight Pass Invitational, a no-gi jiu-jitsu event that brings together a few stars of the mixed martial arts world with familiar faces of the grappling community in a fun show, geared towards MMA fans, much like a gateway to our sport.

The event featured a team tournament as its main attraction which offered a 25,000 USD cash prize to the winning team with the winner of each round being decided in a Best Out Of 4 Matches, all victories decided via submission.

The tournament featured 4 teams who flew the banner of other MMA promotions that are part of the UFC Fight Pass family, namely APFC (hosted by Anthony Pettis), FAC, iKON FC (of Jorge Masvidal), and A1 Combat, a Urijah Faber promotion.

Although all teams had an MMA badge on them, the real interest here, for grappling fans, was each of the team’s squad members as most of those train and represent well-known jiu-jitsu hubs on the submission grappling scene. The squads included:
