Nicky Rodriguez is embarking on an unconventional challenge at Sprawl In The Burgh 2, set for October 20th, 2023. In this unique event, he will confront three skilled grapplers consecutively without any substantial breaks. His opponents include Jake Lowry, Cody Gamble, and Zack Humbertson, all regarded as top-tier grapplers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The complete match is scheduled for a 24-minute duration, with each of his adversaries granted 8 minutes in the cage against Rodriguez.
Notably, submissions will not prematurely conclude any round, and all three rounds are expected to last the full allotted time. Although Rodriguez boasts extensive experience at the highest echelons of the sport, the challenge of facing three completely fresh opponents immediately after enduring prolonged matches with others is undeniably formidable. By the time his third and final opponent steps into the cage, Rodriguez will have spent 16 minutes grappling against the previous two contenders.
The announcement of the self-proclaimed ‘Natty King’s’ participation in this series of matches against Jake Lowry, Cody Gamble, and Zack Humbertson at Sprawl In The Burgh 2 was recently made by 24/7 Fighting Championships through their official Instagram account.
Overall, this presents a new challenge for Rodriguez and is certainly something different. Depending on how it goes, it will be interesting to see if this fad catches on or whether it’s just a gimmick.
