Ethan Crelinsten

⚡67%

Ethan Crelinsten is a highly decorated black belt in submission grappling, known for his elite no-gi skills and extensive experience in prestigious tournaments like ADCC. He is a product of the renowned John Danaher and Firas Zahabi systems and a co-founder of B-Team Jiu-Jitsu. His game is characterized by strong back attacks and a high submission rate. While Danilo Moreira is a formidable black belt with a strong guard and a resilient style, as evidenced by his performance against Carlos Henrique in UFC BJJ 1, Crelinsten's specific expertise in no-gi grappling and his aggressive submission-hunting approach are particularly well-suited for the UFC BJJ format, which features 5-minute rounds and a 10-point-must scoring system. Prominent grappler Mikey Musumeci also gives Crelinsten the 'edge' in this matchup, highlighting his technical prowess, body lock pass, and submissions from the back. Given Crelinsten's ability to secure quick finishes and his no-gi pedigree, a submission in the first round is a strong possibility.
