Submission Underground was conceived along with Flocombat in cooperation with Chael Sonnen. But as things changed the promotion found itself struggling to get promoted the way it was supposed to. This led Chael Sonnen to stream the 7th edition on his youtube channel.
The promotion also changed up the format a bit.
