LOS ANGELES — Will Pounder will host the Subversiv 7 team grappling tournament at the Commerce Casino & Hotel in Commerce, Calif., to be livestreamed on the digital service Fite TV, this Saturday at 5 p.m. (PDT).
Pounder will be joined by combat sports analyst Robin Black and commentators Hector Lombard and Brandon McGarahan for the event, which will feature three eight-man brackets, the Diamond Axe Belt and $30,000 in cash prizes.
The matchups for the world’s largest team grappling tournament include Nick Rodriguez versus Sloan Clymer and Kaynan Duarte versus Javier Gonzalez.
Besides his adult career, Pounder is a health and fitness advocate and accomplished mixed martial artist. While in the Marine Corps, he competed on weekends, taught the All-Marine Grappling Team, ran the All-Marine Competition Team at Camp Pendleton and started the jiu-jitsu club in Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in 2008.
In August 2019, he competed in a team grappling tournament televised by UFC Fight Pass, fighting on the team captained by former UFC welterweight, mixed martial artist and boxer Chris “Lights Out” Lytle.
“It’s an honor to share the stage with so many great fighters,” said Pounder. “These are professionals at the top of their game, and there’s a lot on the line for these guys, including the highest payout ever in the history of team grappling, so this is sure to be an exciting tournament."
