Jon Blank - Welterweight Champion

Richie "Boogeyman" Martinez, 10th Planet Black Belt, MMA fighter and now BJJ promoter, presented the 2nd of his tournaments Saturday night at the San Diego Performing Arts Center.  The atmosphere was kind of clublike with fog machines, music and stagelights, but for a tournament and featured fights.  The tournament rules consisted of 10 minute rounds, no points or advantages and if needed, 3 overtime rounds, basically EBI-style rules. Along with all this, 42 stud fighters were ready for war.
 
In attendance were the crew from Verbal Tap Radio and the girls from Mat Therapy who were doing the live stream commentating, along with a GrappleTv presence.
 
Standout Fights of the Event:
Austin Baker (Gracie Barra) vs. Diego Vasquez (Carlson Gracie Temecula)
Usually when you have big guys fighting it isn’t the most action-packed match but these two, who just fought last week at the JiuJitsu.net Invitational, both came in trying to position themselves as THE guy to beat in their weight division. Diego gets back control and almost gets a kimura from side control. After Austin scrambles, he has a Kimura attempt of his own. Diego regains top control, gets to half guard, tries for another kimura transitioning to a knee bar attempt as Austin turtles. After a few more submission attempts, time ends. Diego wins in overtime by quickest escapes.
 
Anthony Aguilera (New Breed Academy) vs. Carl Boudro (Barum BJJ)
Anthony shoots in and grabs a single leg. Carl counters with a Kimura grip as Anthony slams him down and escapes the Kimura. After working to pass the half guard, Anthony makes his way to mount, then high mount and an Americana attempt which creates a scramble. He is able to retain his mount position and attempts a mounted triangle but is forced to transition into an armbar which Carl escapes. Going into overtime, Anthony chooses back control and gets a rear naked choke from the back mount position.
 
Honorable mention goes to Grace Gundrum and Zoey Chiles with Grace pulling out the rare Swedish twister.
