On Saturday, March 26, top UK-based promotion Polaris returned to action with a card headlined by Magid Hage and recent ADCC Trials winner Roberto Jimenez.
The event also featured a pair of Polaris title bouts, as both Ash Williams and Kendall Reusing were able to retain their belts.
Like all Polaris events, each match was contested under a submission-only ruleset. In the event no submission occurs during regulation, mat-side judges award a victor.
Fresh off a first-place finish at the ADCC South American Trials, Jimenez needed just over to finish Hage. With Jimenez in half-guard top, Hage used a classic John Wayne sweep to gain top position, but the advantage lasted just a moment as Jimenez was able to snake around to Hage’s back. From there, Jimenez used his trademark hand-trapping to secure a clean rear-naked choke.
