Craig Jones is set to clash against UFC’s Philip Rowe at the Pit Submission Series!
This match is scheduled for February 23rd in the city of Mexico City.
The news were shared via social media.
This will be the first grappling bout of the year for Craig Jones, who is gearing up for ADCC later on in the year.
According to the Australian grappler, ADCC may also be his final competition for his career – if he decides to compete in it at all, that is:
I’m at the point where like, if my body breaks down I’m just gonna be like: “You know what? Let’s call it a day.”
I just mean I’ll stop training, you know?I don’t know if I’ll do ADCC, you know? It’s a tough one.
It’s a lot of work you know? It’s a big commitment of time.
Philip Rowe, on the other hand, brings a wealth of experience from the UFC to the BJJ mat.
Having previously faced Gordon Ryan in a hybrid rules match, Rowe is no novice when it comes to submission grappling competition.
