The Craig Jones Invitational, or CJI for short, is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament scheduled for August 16th and 17th in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This upcoming weekend marks one of the most significant weekends in submission grappling history. The two most polarizing events of the year, The Craig Jones Invitational (CJI) and the ADCC World Championships are scheduled for August 16-17, 2024. A new rivalry in the sport has been born.
Craig Jones launched the new league as a competitor to the prestigious ADCC (Abu Dabhi Combat Combat Club) tournament which is intentionally being held on the same weekend and in the same city. The Craig Jones Invitational occurs at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center, while ADCC transpires at the T-Mobile Arena.
