JitzKing is back with an exciting 16-man middleweight tournament, with $5,000 on the line. The tournament is no-gi, with six minute matches that utilize an ADCC style of scoring where the first half of the match has no points. Besides the middleweight tournament, there will be seven superfights which should make for an exciting night in Florida. Here is the bracket -
