View complete results and video highlights from the second day of CJI 2, which took place on August 31, 2025.

The second installment of the Cragi Jones Invitational concluded on Sunday, and one team of elite grapplers walked away with a $1 million grand prize. Also, the final of the four-woman bracket went down, as teen phenoms Sarah Galvao and Helena Crevar locked horns for $100,000.

And in superfight action, tournament organizer Craig Jones took on late-notice replacement Chael Sonnen in what Jones has announced to be his retirement match.

Before the action got underway, Jones announced that any athlete scoring a submission during the team event would earn a $50,000 bonus.
