What's Happening In Jiu-Jitsu

-WNO announced the rest of the main card for June 13th's Costa Mesa event. Included will be a heavyweight title match for the belt formerly held by Gordon Ryan, to be contested between his prime disciple Luke Griffith and his chief rival Felipe Pena.

-Felipe Pena will also be at CJI 2, as the +99kg wildcard for Team Atos. Pena was the first to confirm Atos's involvement.

-Several announcements from Craig Jones this week about CJI;

• He confirmed that the arrest video he did with FloGrappling was staged
• Even though he's working with FloGrappling on content, CJI 2 will be separate and still on YouTube
