I'm not sure if I would want to watch a 16-man slappy jiu-jitsu tournament, but I approve of it in small doses, this is funny.

They have a cool penalty in the rules for this crazy thing by the way, if you throw an illegal strike. (illegal strike = slap while both are standing, or a kick, elbow, knee, or punch at any time) If its intentional its a DQ, but if its somehow unintentional, the penalty is that the referee lets your opponent take your back. Thats such a big penalty, that the competitors are heavily incentivized to only slap and only when legal.

Bubba Smith posted:so far, slaps to the face have done nothing once actual jiu jitsu started. there was about 30 seconds where a man was furiously slapping the thigh of another man while in half guard. since that it's been a normal jiu jitsu match I do think they do something in that fighters are not going to allow themselves to get into positions that make sense only when strikes are not legal. There are many things in EBI that you don't want to do in MMA when striking is legal. The idea here is to keep the jiu-jitsu honest while not actually doing full striking.

This 2nd match is great, this is what Eddie Bravo was probably envisioning, it looks a lot different when mount is a very bad position, the fighter on bottom is a lot more concerned about open hand strikes whereas in a match with no strikes, the fighter on bottom would give no fucks and keep looking for subs. edit: and a fighter just used slaps to get out of a leg lock, this is great

Captain Log posted:Oh wait, these are on fight pass? I've got that. I thought from the Chael cast EBIs were PPVs. They used to be, maybe Chael hasn't been keeping up. The UFC basically made Eddie Bravo some kind of deal to help him hold those events a lot more often, and to have EBI exclusively on fightpass

CommonShore posted:Yeah. what seemed ambiguous to me is that it didn't look like a terribly deep sub. I wonder if the guy was screwing around in some kind of poo poo game and won a poo poo prize. Seems unlikely that he'd play games this close to the final. I bet he thought he was caught and realized too late that he wasn't, and tried to take back the tap but the video caught it.
