Famed jiu jitsu practitioner Craig Jones will maintain the two-day Craig Jones Invitational from the Thomas and Mack Middle in Las Vegas, Nevada this weekend.
Craig Jones from B Staff Jiu Jitsu is a two-time ADCC silver medalist. Disillusioned with athlete pay at ADCC, he determined to host a event wherein all invited athletes obtain the next minimal payout ($10,001) than the male winner of ADCC ($10,000).
The winner in every weight division will obtain $1 million prize cash.
The primary day of the Craig Jones Invitational on Aug. 16 will begin at 6 p.m. ET, and the second day will start at 8 p.m. ET.
