We stole Victor Hugo! -B team squad for CJI 2 leaked early

Craig Jones went out the audio in his video, but it was not difficult to read the names and decipher the names he mentioned, as those who represent the B team at CJI 2. This included four fairly obvious options from B -Team Stall, together with a surprise as a “Wild Card” pick.

“We have the jump, we have the home advantage here. So we stolen [Victor Hugo]”, Jones said on the video with the audio.” We stole it, so we set him as ours [+99].

“So our team will be [Ethan Crelinsten, Jozef Chen, Chris Wojcik, Nicky Rod and Victor Hugo.] So I think it's a power package team. It will be a difficult team that can be beat, ”said Jones.

The weight departments of the members mentioned are also pretty easy, with most grappers taking their natural departments. Rodriguez has to cut some weight to earn -99 kg (218 lbs), but it seems to be feasible because it appeared in his last three open games in the UFC Fight Pass Invitational Wieging, 226 LBS, 231 LBS and 234 LBS.

If Jones' announcement prove to be final, the B team service plan should look like this:

B team service plan

• 66 kg: Ethan Crelinsten – Polaris Champ
• 77 kg: Jozef Chen – 2023 ADCC tests winner
• 88 kg: Chris Wojcik – 2024 PGF silver medalist
• 99 kg: Nick Rodriguez – CJI 1 Openweight Champion
• +99 kg: Victor Hugo -5-painter IBJJF world champion (Wild Card selection)
• Trainer: Dima Murovanni

While CJI 1 champion Nicky Rod recovered from the UFC FPI 10 defeat against Hugo by beating the double master of the ADCC 2024, Kaynan Duarte, he always had problems making this grappling style. The mostly dominating Rodriguez has somehow went 0: 4 against Victor Hugo, but it looks as if this time he doesn't have to worry about against him at CJI 2.

Since Nicky Rod works with its normal film and other talented lighter teammates, this line -up by Jones should actually be one of the “Kraft package” favorites to win the money price of $ 1 million.

CJI 2 to have WWE Royal Rumble-Style inputs

On the video, Craig Jones also explained the role of coaches and the event with entrances in the style of Royal Rumble on the actual announcements for CJI 2.

The CJI 2 Team Grappling format will have winners from every game on the mat to compete against a new opponent. Instead of a prepared order of the grappers like Quintet, Jones announced that coaches on CJI 2 will be able to strategate and decide the next competitor in real time.

To add some puzzles and flair, says Jones, CJI 2 will have an entrance and a countdown timer in the Royal Rumble style to reveal the next opponent.

“What makes it so much more exciting and makes the trainer so much more important is what we borrow from Royal Rumble,” revealed Jones.

“We will see the repetition of the finish, and then it will be a 10 -second timer on the screen. Since this sinks to zero, Nicky Rod (as an example) sees as an example,” explained Jones. “The fans who live people, the comment stand, you have no idea, so everyone will” who is next? “

“This excitement will really emphasize,” said Jones.

The tournament of $ 1 million eight team in Craig Jones Invitational 2 goes back over two days from 30 to August 31, 2025 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
