Thug Trials 2 takes place on November 22nd, 2025 and the promotion has put together their most impressive lineup yet. It’s a star-studded event but it isn’t just big names from the Jiu-Jitsu world that are competing, as former ONE Championship strawweight MMA world champion Jarred Brooks is taking on fellow MMA veteran Nick Daniels. Brooks is a well-rounded fighter but his submissions have been his biggest threat throughout his career, and he’s even had experience in grappling matches before. Brooks is best-known in Jiu-Jitsu for putting up a valiant effort when he challenged Mikey Musumeci for his flyweight submission grappling title.
There are plenty of other notable matchups on the main card too, starting with what looks to be an exciting battle between Brad Schneider and William Vincent. There’s going to be another very interesting match between two veteran middleweight grapplers that should produce some fireworks too; UFC BJJ title-challenger David Garmo facing a very well-rounded contender in Steve Joachim. At the other end there’s also two of the biggest rising young stars in the sport today clashing when Jett Thompson attempts to continue his incredible run of recent form by getting what would be a huge win over ADCC veteran Achilles Rocha.
This will all lead up to the one of the biggest matches of the evening, and it actually involves Achilles’ sister Jasmine Rocha. She will be facing one of the biggest female stars and most successful competitors in the sport right now, Helena Crevar. It’s a huge matchup and it has big implications for the top of their weight class. Then in the final match of the night, top-ranked lightweight Keith Krikorian takes on fellow 10th Planet representative Tameem Syed. Elsewhere on the card is a pair of matchups to finish the lineup; UFC veteran Dylan Budka taking on Jackson Bouie and Brendan Barry vs Enrico Said.
The full Thug Trials 2 live event, including every match in the lineup above, is available to watch via PPV.
