## Event overview

After cancelling then un-cancelling the brand, Craig Jones confirmed a 2027 return with a smaller budget and no $1M prizes. Exact date, venue, and format TBA.

## Why it matters

CJI was the biggest disruptor to ADCC’s athlete-pay narrative — even scaled down, a return is a marquee spectacle.
