NEW YORK, NY – After an immensely
successful inaugural event last year, sixteen of the world’s best grapplers
will convene in New York City on Saturday, February 25th, to compete in the
second installment of the much-anticipated Ultimate Absolute II: Lightweight
Edition grappling event. The upcoming roster of world-class athletes – which
includes UFC, Bellator FC & Abu Dhabi Championship veterans - will compete
in a no-gi, single-elimination tournament for a $10,000 cash prize. Adding to
the day’s excitement is a $1,000 cash bonus for each victory via submission.
Ultimate Absolute II will take place across the street from the legendary
Madison Square Garden at the Hotel Pennsylvania and in the Gold Ballroom.
Tickets are on sale now starting with $150 for the first two rows and $125 for
subsequent rows. All purchases will be complemented with a hors d’oeuvres and
dessert with a cash-bar feast as the action explodes right before your eyes.
Wherever you choose to sit, you will be treated to an intimate setting with
master techniques and action-packed submissions. Tickets can be purchased at www.ultimateabsolutenyc.com
and at the door. Doors will open at 3PM and the event will promptly start at
4PM.
Event organizer Rob Constance says, “It is a privilege to hold our second event
right across MSG, the Mecca of combat sports in New York City. It is our dream
to one day make that trek across the street and hold an even bigger tournament
with all the grappling greats!” Rob, an ADCC trials veteran, has always dreamt
of bringing a taste of the always highly anticipated ADCC World Submission
Fighting Championships to his side of the world. “Even if it’s just once in
their life, every fan should get the opportunity to see the top champions
compete live. The Ultimate Absolute provides just that. This is Abu Dhabi
finally meets the East Coast!” Rob says.
