The Eddie Bravo Invitational injury bug has hit again with sources close to the event stating that Eddie Cummings has had to bow out of the submission only tournament. Cummings, a former tournament champion, was seen as an outside bet to win the tournament and many fans were looking to tune in to watch his exciting leg lock game.

While Cummings injury is a big loss for the show, there is a silver lining to be had in the fact that Gordon Ryan will be his replacement.

Ryan is the most exciting prospect in the sport of submission grappling. A black belt under fellow EBI 6 competitor Garry Tonon, Ryan is known for his exciting style and is not long removed from an exciting submission victory over 10th Planet black belt Nathan Orchard. Ryan is a pretty unorthodox competitor and he is relatively inexperienced at the highest level, but what he lacks in experience, he more than makes up for in creativity and talent.

Should Gordon Ryan and his professor Garry Tonon both win in their opening two match ups they will end up facing each other in the semi-finals.

The Eddie Bravo Invitational 6 goes down at the Orpheum Theatre, in Los Angeles, CA on April 24 and will be available on pay-per-view on Dish and InDemand, as well as being live on UFC Fight Pass.
