It wasn't the smash hit the first event was, but there were certainly highlights. The best of which came during the main event when Kron Gracie choked Shinya Aoki.
Things got off to a rough start with three less than exciting matches, but things turned around after the intermission when the announcement of Eddie Bravo vs Royler Gracie main event of Metamoris III got the energy going again. The main event really seemed to salvage the event as the negativity from the first three matches overshadowed some good, if a little a little slow, matches in the second half of the evening.
If nothing else this event busted the myth that submission only matches are always more exciting and have no stalling when compared to point jiu jitsu matches. Still it is an interesting format and should not be cast aside until we can determine if the lack of action tonight was a result of match making, the new judges, or if this is really what submission only matches will look like.
