Jake Shields won and called out Jon Jones. Submission Underground

Submission Underground, the no-gi organization led by Chael Sonnen, reached its fourth installment last night in Portland, with four submission-only superfights featuring MMA and BJJ stars. The main event saw former UFC fighter Jake Shields defeat Dillon Danis, who coaches Conor McGregor, via fastest escape time over the three rounds. After the fight, which went into overtime, Shields sent out a grappling challenge to former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.

Another match saw Paulo Miyao defeat former UFC contender Urijah Faber. Myiao worked his guard game and sought Faber’s back the whole time. After overtime, Miyao was deemed the winner via escaping the quickest over three rounds.

Lightweight UFC fighter Gilbert “Durinho” Burns beat John Combs in round 1 with a rear naked choke, and Nate Orchard beat Michael Perez in overtime via fastest escape time after three rounds.

No ritmo de casar lutas entre astros do Jiu-Jitsu e atletas do UFC, o Submission Underground, evento sem kimono organizado por Chael Sonnen que chega a sua quarta edição, colou dois nomes improváveis frente a frente no card.

Paulo Miyao, campeão mundial na faixa-preta e recém-confirmado no ADCC 2017 após vencer a seletiva carioca do torneio, colocará suas habilidades sem pano contra ninguém menos que Urijah Faber, ex-campeão do WEC e diversas vezes postulante ao título mundial do UFC.

O combate entre os dois será parte de um grande card montado para o evento, que terá ainda Dillon Danis, faixa-preta de Marcelo Garcia e parceiro de treinos de Conor McGregor, na luta principal contra o ex-UFC Jake Shields, além do campeão mundial e atleta do UFC Gilbert Durinho, contra John Combs, americano que complicou o GP de Leves da Copa Podio neste ano, e outras lutas ainda a serem confirmadas no evento.
