Subversiv presents “Subversiv 7: The Battle of the Brands” live on FITE June 11 from Los Angeles’ Commerce Casino. The Viking-style team grappling promotion is the largest of its kind, attracting the world’s top talent. The promotion is brought to you by the mad minds that gave you ADCC and prides itself on being pro-military, pro-cannabis, and anti-PC.

The host is Will Pounder, No. 1 adult male film star in the world and also a jiu-jitsu expert. Legendary combat sports commentator Robyn Black will serve as analyst. On commentary will be Hector Lombard – a world champion in both MMA and Bare Knuckle fighting – and Brandon McGarahan, the founder of PGF fighting league and an EBI commentator. The evening’s special guest is legendary pro wrestler Rob Van Dam.

Subversiv combines a variety of Brazilian jiu-jitsu rule innovations, including limited time on the ground if there’s no immediate submission, with mixed weight classes and one woman on each team. It all adds up to unique and fast paced bouts that BJJ World has called A real hit and the most entertaining and efficient rulesets format available today.

Team Checkmat is the first to announce participation with first place SJJIF World Championship winner Gabriel Almeida in the 185 pounds-plus spot, 20-year-old phenom Jansen Gomes in the under-185 pounds division, and Tata Ribeiro in the open female division, widely known as one of the best women in the sport. Team Checkmat comes out of nearby Long Beach, Calif.

Subversiv is one of the most exciting Brazilian jiu-jitsu promotions, and fans are seriously pumped up for this long awaited return to L.A., FITE COO Mike Weber said. They don’t call it Viking-style for nothing – the action is intense.

More official team announcements are coming soon.
