Third Coast Grappling is back! They just announced they will be hosting an eight-man tournament on June 6 in Houston, TX! 

This 180lb gi tournament will feature Roberto Jimenez, Gustavo Batista, Manuel Ribamar, Gabriel Arges, Jake Watson, Jaime Canuto, Pedro Marinho, and William Tackett.

"We put together eight of the toughest guys in the world and said, 'Hey, IBJJF had to cancel tournament season but we want to bring it back and give the winner 10 grand.'"

"Your fate is in your hands," said 3CG event promoter Ryan McGuire. "Win three times win 10K. We will also have four unique and fun superfights each card and keep things to around 12-14 matches per night." 

If that wasn't enough action for one night, 3CG is also hosting a kids tag team match. Its exciting tournaments are starting to come back. Just as athletes and fans were starting to get depressed, we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

"We appreciate the support of FloGrappling and the community and plan to have one helluva second part of 2020. We kick it off June 6, with Kumite I live on FloGrappling."
