I am in Charlotte tonight for the Fight Lab Grappling Invitational. Fight Lab is a MMA promotion in NC, and they decided to have a grappling event the day before their MMA event. No/gi, in an MMA cage, 3-3min rounds. I believe sub-only, but to be honest the rules are a little nebulous at the moment. My instructor Brad Strain is competing. After the weighted events, there is supposed to be an absolute bracket open to all the participants that wish to enter. Should be a good father/son night.

Looks like the first 2 rounds are sub-only, last round adds in points? Rules are basically the grappling part of the unified rules- slams and all subs are legal.

Not sure that the rounds are a good idea, need to see a few more matches to see for sure.

Fight Lab is doing a Facebook live on their Facebook page for the event, if anyone wants to watch. If I can, I will post a link to the video here once the event is over.

Unfortunately, Brad lost by straight armlock; but had some good moments in the match. Lost to a good guy.
