Explain it to me. This is a dude about to fight a trans woman who is like 2 weight classes above him? When, where, and under who's rules?
The event is the Craig Jones Invitational, a submission grappling tournament put on by notable competitor and world-class social media troll Craig Jones. He raised $2M+ from someone (Zuckerberg?) and is giving out $1M prizes to the winnners of two brackets in hopes of raising the profile of the sport and promoting higher athlete pay. There are also some superfights, of which Craig vs Gabi is one.
The event is free on YouTube, superfights tomorrow.
Craig and Gabi are friends. This weird romance/fight dynamic started as a joke on Reddit (he's an Aussie with a very Andy Kaufman sense of humor) and he set it up as a freakshow match. Gabi's not trans, just has some kind of gigantism and spent the last 20 years abusing steroids. I used to train as part of the same BJJ team as her about 15 years ago and overlapped a few times, and she and my sister were briefly friendly training partners in competition prep. She's exactly as much of a mess as you'd imagine a woman with a body like that might end up.
