Spokane Submission Series is debuting on FloGrappling on March 1st with a packed night of grappling action in the CJI-style pit. The Washington-based organization has gotten together a solid mix of veterans and up-and-comers from the area with some matchups that fans are going to like.

This will be the first event on FloGrappling to use the pit, a slanted wall against the sides of the mat that forces action back to the center without resets. The best practices around using this wall are still evolving and developing, and that alone is a major factor to keep an eye on when the athletes take the mat on March 1st.

The main event will be between wrestlers and UFC veterans Deron Winn and Phil Hawes. These are probably the two best wrestlers to face off in a pit like this and it'll be really interesting to see how takedown artists this skilled approach using the surface.

There is a lot to appreciate on the rest of the card with a lot of tough veterans mixed with athletes looking to still make their name. A few people to keep an eye on include 

• Jaine Fragoso, a wicked leg locker from CTA who has excelled in both gi and no-gi
• Diego Ramalho, a very tough and experienced black belt grappler who has developed into a very skilled leg locker
• Charlie Gilpin, a very scrappy BTT black belt who had some really exciting showings on the IBJJF circuit last season
• Rana Willink, fresh off her quick win on WNO she is back to her next big professional match on the early portion of the card
