Submission Underground 17 goes down today and grappling fans from around the world will not want to miss this stacked card. From top to bottom the SUG 17 card will be full of excitement, capped off with the much anticipated main event, the trilogy between Craig Jones and Mason Fowler.
Jones and Folwer previously headlined SUG 16 but it ended with a bit of controversy as the referee stopped the match after he allegedly heard a verbal tap from Jones in overtime. This stoppage crowned Fowler the first-ever Submission Underground Absolute Champion, much to the dismay of Jones. However, no one wants to win on a controversial call like that and Fowler was no different as he took to Instagram immediately after the match asking Chael Sonnen to let the two grapplers run it back for their trilogy match. Sonnen being the smart businessman that he is didn’t think twice about this one.
The rest of the main card includes Gillian Robertson taking on Amanda Loewen, Ben Egli will meet Richie Martinez inside the cage and Jesse Taylor will meet up and coming Submission Underground superstar Roberto Jimenez.
The undercard will also be exciting. Some notable matches include Aaron Tiegs matching up against Nicholas Maximov, Phill Schwartz taking on Frank Rosenthal and the final match of the undercard will have PJ Barch meeting Ethan Crelinsten inside the SUG cage.
Submission Underground 17 can be streamed live on UFC Fight Pass starting at 3 PM PST/6 PM EST.
