It’s been some days ago that Craig Jones has revealed that he has plans to organize his own $1 million Jiu-Jitsu tournament…
And he has now decided to unveil even more details surrounding the upcoming event.
The date won’t be released just yet, but there are already plenty of details that would make competing in the event interesting for athletes:
When we had some problems with the ADCC, I decided to call in some favors and just run my own event.
So, we won’t release the date yet, but we’ll run two 16-men tournaments, $1 million prize money.
And to show up, we’ll give $10,001.ADCC pays $10,000 for the first prize.
So I thought it’d be funny if we just give them $10,001 just to show up.
Jones explains that this is now a serious undertaking:
It’s really just a funny idea that has now become something real, with the right funding.
So, that’s the plan basically.ADCC is a tournament I could never win – so I thought, you know, let’s take some money and let’s destroy the tournament, make our own tournament.
