#8 Gutemberg Pereira vs. #3 Tim Spriggs

If you’re not hyped about this match, we don’t want to be your friend. Tim Spriggs is at the peak of his career, and Gutemberg Pereira is the prototypical hungry rookie. Both employ explosive, action-packed jiu-jitsu. Both are only satisfied with a submission win. This match is going to be a war. See the full breakdown here.

#5 Shane Jamil-Hill (TLI) vs. Bruno Cesar (GFTeam)

Shane Jamil-Hill Taylor is another highly touted prospect out of TLI. Supremely technical, Hill’s style is both aggressive and mind-blowingly creative—he ran through Samir Chantre at Pans with surprising ease and has been battling it out with Gianni Grippo for the past few years.

Bruno Cesar represents GF Team and is a masters competitor with a silver medal at Pans. He’s got a huge challenge in front of him with Jamil, but he should pull off the victory.

Devhonte Johnson (Unity) vs. David Adams (Ground Control) 

Devhonte Johnson is one of the most highly touted brown belts on the competition scene today. Representing Unity jiu-jitsu, Johnson brings a smash-mouth style and undeniable heart to all of his matches. He's been training under the watchful eye of Murilo Santana and is a regular training partner of monsters such as Dillon Danis, the Miyaos, and Felipe Cesar. Keep an eye on his pressure passing and exceptional back-take skills.

Malachi Edmond (TLI) vs. Ellis Karadag (Method MMA)

Malachi Edmond has quietly been building his resume and is another brown belt with limitless potential. A TLI product from day one, Edmond has been chasing down gold medals at IBJJF International Open events and hit the podium at Pans in 2017. He faces Ellis Karadag, a recently promoted brown belt representing Method MMA, who’s had success at regional open events.
