Third Coast Grappling is on fire this summer with its Kumite series events with $10K on the line each time. Third Coast Grappling Kumite IV goes down on July 11.
In their last event, Kumite III, 180 lb no-gi beasts went head-to-head in a stacked bracket, with Roberto Jimenez edging out Vagner Rocha by decision in OT. While both Jimenez and Rocha were the fan favorites going into the event, it is important to mention some notable points from the bracket:
- With the only submission in regulation time, Pedro Marinho’s guillotine – affectionately now known as the “Marinhotine,” is NO JOKE.
