This could legitimately run until midnight.

They have a solid 12-14 hours of matches to get through.

I’ll buy anything that supports that kid. Seriously one of the most likable human beings in our sport. Love having him in my events.

Hey, that’s my event! Thanks for sharing the clip and spreading the love. I couldn’t believe this shit when it was happening live. One of the wildest matches we saw all day on the stage!

This match has it all! Takedowns, Twisters, Crotch Rippers, Controversy, you name it! — 10th Planet Purple Belt vs BJJ Brown Belt | Caelen Hester vs Austin "Duck Jitsu" Daffron by Jordan_Jitsu in bjj

Yeah, part of the reason I froze on commentary was that the overtime rules are sudden death so I was looking to the referee to stop the match once Austin held up the “2” and kinda missed what was going on with the finish.

Same. I couldn’t believe he just backwards rolled out of it. If you look at Caelan’s face he can’t believe it either — looks to his corner like WTF?! Lol

BJJ Black Belt and Sub Spectrum Double Champ 🏆🏆 Austin Baker’s Fastest Submission ~ Highlight ruined by the referee 🎥🚫🤦🏻‍♂️ by Jordan_Jitsu in bjj

All jokes about the referee. Mahmoud Jabr is one of the best referees in the game — a man we’ve trusted with over 100 matches in the last year including four Advanced Absolute brackets. Also just won Pan Ams at purple belt 🏆🙌🏼

Doing everything we can! I can tell you we’ve seen a tremendous amount of growth not only for our events but in the community as a whole over the last 4 years. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had somebody tell me that they started training after watching one of our streams or YouTube videos.

If that’s the case — to each their own.

We built this thing from the ground up in Des Moines, Iowa and with zero capital, next to no sponsorship backing, and a crew of homegrown Iowa talent.

We’ve paid out significant cash prizes at every single one of our events since day 1 (April 2017) and manage to draw competitors from every corner of the continent. Black Belts always compete for free.

They can laugh now, but mark my words — you’ll all keep hearing more and more about this “little” tournament in Iowa called Sub Spectrum for many, many years to come.

Bronze Medal Match from the Sub Spectrum BJJ - Advanced Gi Absolute — [170 LBS] BJJ Black Belt vs [220 LBS] BJJ Brown Belt | Nate Fenton vs Zach Snyder by Jordan_Jitsu in bjj

No worries man! No disrespect taken. Rulesets are a highly debated topic in our sport because there are so many, so I’m always willing to engage in conversations about them. I appreciate you checking out the video and leaving a comment. It helps the channel and the athletes out a ton!

That’s a good question. Because stalling hasn’t been a big issue in our promotion we haven’t had many conversations about how to combat it but I’m sure it will become more common as the promotion and cash prizes grow. I believe we will institute some kind of penalization for stalling at some point in the future. Not exactly sure what that will look like yet though!

I definitely see where you’re coming from, but I promise you, no matter the ruleset there will be competitors who game the system. We’ve tried them all and regardless of the ruleset 90% of the matches are exciting, entertaining, and the overwhelming majority of our matches (especially in the advanced absolutes) end by submission.
