Grappling report: Kaynan Duarte wins star-studded Kasai 5 GP

Kasai are putting on some of the most stacked cards in professional submission grappling. Kasai 5’s heavyweight grand prix comprised of the who’s who of the pro grappling circuit, with stars such as Craig Jones, Tex Johnson and Felipe Pena appearing.

While many may have fancied Felipe Pena’s chances, the ADCC absolute champion didn’t make it to the podium. Kaynan Duarte was the star of the show with 3 dominant points victories and a submission finish of Craig Jones. In the finals, Duarte managed to defeat Tex Johnson, who was a major player in the biggest upset of the night.
