After a successful inaugural event, the Craig Jones Invitational 2 (CJI 2) is set to return to the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on August 30-31, 2025. The sophomore event promises to be a spectacle for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) fans and athletes alike, with a stacked lineup of athletes, including the man himself, Craig Jones, taking on Olympic wrestling gold medalist Gable Stevenson in one of the marquee super fights of the event.

The Craig Jones Invitational (CJI) made waves in 2024 by offering a $1 million prize to the winner of each weight division. The inaugural event was a massive success, drawing top-tier talent and a global audience. Building on that momentum, Craig Jones Invitational 2 is set to take place on August 30–31, 2025, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. This year's event promises to be even bigger and more exciting.
