Midwest Finishers 19 is scheduled for July 27th, 2024 and the promotion has announced the full card for the event. There will be two interesting superfights but the main attraction is undoubtedly the two fantastic tournaments that the promotion has put together. The men’s under 185lbs tournament features 16 competitors and the women’s under 125lbs tournament is half the size with 8 competitors. Both brackets are stacked with very talented grapplers and it’s going to be hard to predict either one of them. There are a handful of entrants who do stand out among the field of tough opposition, but it will be far from easy for any of them to win.
The men’s tournament features veteran 10th Planet competitor Kevin Beuhring and he might be the early favorite to win. Adamas Jiu-Jitsu are sending both Nicholas Craton and Nilo Burgener, while Kody Roy will be representing Commonwealth Jiu-Jitsu. These three men among several others in the bracket will be tough competition for Beuhring, and the women’s tournament isn’t any clearer. Elite Art of Jiu-Jitsu black belt Emily Nicholson is one of the top contenders but Martina Zola is coming all the way from the UK for a shot at the grand prize and Melanie Iverson is always a tough matchup.
