At last weekend’s Rumble at the Roseland, Justin Mark won his fourth professional fight against Jess Moore by Twister submission. The fight took place on Saturday, December 12th in Portland, Oregon.
Mark began his professional career in September of 2013, after amassing a 7-2 amateur record from 2008-2012. He was only 1-3 as a professional coming into the fight. His opponent Jess More was making his professional debut after amassing an 8-5 amateur record from 2006 to 2014.
The fight starts out with a touching of the gloves and Mark opens with some a couple good strikes before slipping to the canvas off a kick. Moore immediately jumps on him to secure top position. However, Mark is able to use his butterfly hooks to move around his opponent and get on the back of his opponent. He then transitions from the traditional hook set to being on leg and finally into the ‘Truck’ position popularized by Eddie Bravo. After some back and forth hand fighting, Mark is finally able to submit his opponent with the ‘Twister.’

About Eddie Bravo
Eddie Bravo is an American practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu who holds a third degree black belt under Jean-Jacques Machado of the Machado family lineage. He is most famous for his win against Royler Gracie by triangle choke in the 2003 Abu Dhabi Submission Wrestling championships while still only a brown belt. Bravo is of Mexican descent.
Bravo’s particular style of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, called 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu, has had success at different levels of competition, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments, submission grappling tournaments, and mixed martial arts events such as the UFC. Bravo’s style consists solely of no-gi jiu-jitsu. Bravo has repeatedly questioned the validity of the traditional approach to teaching jiu-jitsu with the gi for people who are primarily interested in mixed martial arts since it is illegal to wear a gi in most MMA organizations leaving fighters looking for sleeves or collars to improve their position when there are none. Some critics condemn the unusual names that Bravo gives moves: The Zombie (a technique for trapping an opponent’s hand on the mat), Crackhead Control (a technique for preventing opponents from standing up to escape rubber guard), and The Electric Chair (a submission from Lockdown, a modified half guard that Bravo favors, that stretches the opponent’s groin muscles).
