This will be Jacob Couch's first competition since winning the ADCC East Coast Trials in super impressive fashion, going seven for seven on submissions to take home gold and earn his invitation to the World Championships in 2024. Couch is currently ranked no.3 in the world at 185lbs and many expect him to be in serious contention at T-Mobile in August.
