The third Evolve Ur Game (EUG) event has been announced for October, and after two gi tournaments, EUG 3 will feature an eight-man no-gi grand prix following ADCC rules.

The first two EUG events saw the best gi jiu-jitsu competitors in the world go head-to-head in high-paced matches; both tournaments were won by young grapplers considered to be the future of competitive jiu-jitsu. At EUG 1, Atos representative Andy Murasaki defeated Kennedy Maciel, Gianni Grippo, and Matheus Gabriel to win the 160-pound tournament in his black belt debut. And at EUG 2, Art of Jiu-Jitsu product Jonatha Alves defeated Mica Galvao in the finals of the 170-pound tournament in what was one of the best matches of the year so far.
Like the previous two EUG events, the winner of the grand prix at EUG 3 will walk away with $10,000 in cash.
Simply put, Josh Cisneros is one of the top no-gi competitors on the planet. He is an IBJJF Pans and American Nationals champion, as well as a Fight To Win 155-pound champion. Cisneros is coming off a hard-earned decision victory over ADCC silver medalist Kennedy Maciel at Fight To Win 179.
