One of the most interesting promotions to pop up on the BJJ scene is for sure Thug Trials. While not strictly labeled “Grand Rapids,” the Thug Trials 2 card (held at Paw Paw Performance Field House in Michigan) represents the type of event being put on in the region and features notable competitors that would draw grappling fans from Grand Rapids and across the Midwest.
Last time around we saw some huge names.
This time, they have similarly insane names ….like have you ever heard of UFC veteran Rory MacDonald??? Well, he’s on this card. And he’s takes on UFC BJJ veteran Christiano Troisi. This is my personal most anticipated match of announced so far.
