Levi Jones-Leary competes Saturday...

[DaCrippler]

POLARIS 35 is Saturday w/ the below matches and team's lineup, w/ my picks.

What are yours?

Levi Jones-Leary vs Davis Asare: LEVI by submission

Adele Fornarino vs Selma Vik: ADELE by submission

Team Polaris

Eoghan O'Flanagan
Lucas Kanard
Owen Jones
Meyram Maquine

Team WNO

Declan Moody
Devhonte Johnson
Gavin Corbe
Deandre Corbe

... team Polaris to win it. Maquine, despite being a mainly gi competitor, I think is one of the best on that team. For the WNO team, Moody I think is their best one.

Not a fan of Jones-Leary's butt scooting style but he had great matches vs. both Ruotolos at CJI 1 and the closest I've seen to an unpassable guard. Unless Asare has improved significantly since his matches in UFC BJJ, I think this will be a squash match.

But I'm curious how Jones-Leary matches up with guys like Andrew Tackett, Ruotolos and Jozef Chen now.

Agreed. Leary doesn't seem to be that active compared to other big names, but he's done very well when he does compete.

His style reminds me of the older style before the top guys started getting more physical and incorporating wrestling more into their game.
