Craig Jones Invitational 2

Last year, I had a very special Craig Jones Invitational experience. I attended CJI as the guest of my friend, the incredibly accomplished and decorated jiu-jitsu champion Gabi Garcia, and had the opportunity to stay with Craig Jones at the CJI mansion in Las Vegas.

Being able to experience the weekend from such a close, behind-the-scenes perspective was unforgettable. CJI has become something truly special for the sport—not only creating legendary moments in jiu-jitsu, but putting fighters first and giving athletes an opportunity to be compensated at a level that reflects what they bring to the sport.

Here are a few film photographs I captured along the way from an incredible weekend in Las Vegas.
