Australian grappling star Craig Jones created history at UFC Fight Pass Invitational 4. He fought in the main event against Felipe Pena and won the contest via the fastest escape time over the former ADCC absolute champion. Many fans have shared their reactions to it on social media.

UFC Fight Pass Invitational 4 was supposed to feature Gordon Ryan, who’s on contract with the UFC. However, due to his medical complications, ‘The King’ had to sit this one out. On the other side, Alexander Volkanovski‘s training partner registered a historic win to grab the number 1 spot in the no-gi rankings.

Craig Jones wins via the fastest escape time

Craig Jones took on former ADCC champion Felipe Pena in the EBI rules match in the main event. Their fight went into overtime as Jones closed the show with a win via the fastest escape time. Both men were unable to assert themselves during the twelve-minute regulation period, which saw a few ‘get downs’. However, they ultimately contested on their feet. It was a great night for the ‘B-Team’, as they won the final two matches of the night.

None of the fighters dominated the contest, and both fighters put on their submission moves. However, it was Craig Jones who was able to escape faster than Pena and most probably earned the title of the best pound-for-pound grappler in the world. Let us take a look at what the fans had to say.

Fans react to Jones’s win at FPI 4

The fans were elated to see Craig Jones win the main event at FPI4, claiming that it is bad for people who hate the Australian. Moreover, the fans claim that the 31-year-old grappler may have become the number-one No-gi grappler ever. They also believe that he can comfortably retire now after achieving the best P4P status. Here are some of the reactions from a post on Instagram.

• It’s a bad day for the haters
• Its confirmed, Craig is now the number one no gi grappler ever.
• craig can now retire as the p4p greatest no gi grappler of all time
• Now Craig can finally ride the sunset as the number 1 bjj nogi grappler in the world and also number 1 in our hearts
• I’m happy Craig won but man when are we gonna stop giving main events to Pena? Every match of his is a snoozer. He was just clubbing Craig and refusing to engage. That’s the exact style that turns people away from Jiu Jitsu
• Even nose beers won’t help that snooze fest
• It’s a good day for the B-Team!! F*** yeah

Moreover, the fans sounded off on Felipe Pena for his somewhat boring and dull performance. They claim that his style is the reason people turn away from Jiu-Jitsu. Meanwhile, most fans were happy to see the success of the ‘B-team’.
