One of the most exciting days of Professional Grappling Federation World history took place yesterday. The competitors hit 16 submissions! Even with a robust 30-match lineup, that’s a more than 50% submission rate for the night – and that’s with six-minute rounds. We saw signature submissions make their presence in PGF World. We saw the rich getting richer. We saw a PGF veteran prove he belongs with the best in this league. Let’s take a look at what happened on #PGF7 Day 3.
THE RICH GET RICHER
Both current PGF leader Ryan Aitken and pre-season 1 or 2 Paul Ardila hit three submissions during PGF Season 7, day 3. Normally, Day 3 breaks competitors, but Aitken and Ardila have shown they are what breaks competitors. Ryan Aitken got three submissions: two kills and a break. Paul Ardila also got three submission, scoring two breaks and a kill with an Elbow Genie points. So the top competitors found a way to keep distancing themselves from the pack. They proved they were the best picks from Day 1.
A PGF VETERAN PROVES HE BELONGS
Travis Thomas entered the season as a prior standout from PGF Season 5, but that was the last season before the PGF really went national. So many competitors were discounting the professional mma fighter’s jiu jitsu. Travis proved to them and everyone else that he belongs in the PGF during PGF7 Day 3. Travis secured two kills, including the quickest kill of the season to put 13 points on the board. Travis’s performance on day 3 rocketed him to second place in PGF World 7.
So Famous, they’re INFAMOUS Submissions Presence Felt!
Abe La Matagne hit his infamous Abe Lock against Kemoy Anderson. Chris Wojcik hit his Woj-lock/ankle lock multiple times as well. PGF Season 7 has featured a bunch of breakers and break, they have. Abe’s on the outside looking in, but Chris Wojcik has been on the come up, finding a way to hit those subs in his latest matches. As we enter the final day of competition, Wojcik is in 8th place, so he has to continue hitting submissions to make sure he retains a spot in the PGF Season 7 finale.
Whomever finds their way into the PGF Season 7 finale, will undoubtedly have to face Ryan Aitken at one point if they want to win it all. Aitken has prove he owns this ruleset and is situated to run the board and win PGF Season 7. Oh no, did I jinnx him? Ryan Aitken believes in anime, but not in jinxes. The smart money says Aitken finds a way to win it all.
