Greg J. (NJ United MMA) vs Jimmie Rivera (TSKMMA)

Greg J. Wins the Silver at Grapplers Quest

NJ United Mixed Martial Arts purple belt Greg J. continues to rack up the medals in NJ grappling tournaments, taking home the silver medal Saturday against some tough competition. Greg was able to defeat a very tough Jimmie Rivera by a score of 6-3 in the opening round at Grapplers Quest in what was a very entertaining match. Rivera is a very accomplished MMA fighter holding a black belt and a professional record of 13-1. Greg J. was able to get Rivera’s back standing to score 4 points to pull out the win at the end of the match.

Greg J. went on to defeat another tough opponent in second round of the men’s advanced lightweight division who had submitted his first opponent with a nasty foot lock. Greg J. won his semi final match 11-0 making it to the finals where he came up short, ending up with the silver medal. I’m looking forward to Greg J. winning the Gold in many NJ grappling tournaments to come!
