Marcelo Cohen Gets Ready for Combat Jiu Jitsu - BJJ Swag

Marcelo Cohen Set to Enter Eddie Bravo’s Combat Jiu-Jitsu Tournament on July 27th

Get ready for fireworks on the mats — Marcelo Cohen is officially stepping into the spotlight at the upcoming Eddie Bravo Invitational (EBI) on July 27th, where he’ll showcase his world-class skills in one of the most electrifying formats in grappling: Combat Jiu-Jitsu (CJJ).

Representing the bantamweight division, Marcelo brings with him a sharp, dynamic game — particularly his lethal kimura attacks, which he’s known to snap into from nearly any position. With years of experience, a relentless pace, and submission-hunting instincts, Cohen is more than just another entrant — he’s a serious threat to the bracket.

But the challenge won’t be light. Standing across from him in the opening round will be none other than Demian Balderrama, a previous CJJ champion and a formidable force in the Combat Jiu-Jitsu scene. Balderrama’s gritty style and championship pedigree make him a high-stakes opponent, setting the stage for what could be one of the most exciting matchups of the night.

The event will take place in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, and will be streamed live exclusively on UFC Fight Pass, giving fans around the world a front-row seat to the action.

Cohen has been quietly putting in the work — sharpening his tools, tightening his transitions, and dialing in his game plan. With the tournament just around the corner, you can expect him to bring fire, focus, and finesse to the mat.

Whether you're a hardcore jiu-jitsu head or a fight fan looking for high-stakes, high-skill grappling with the added edge of open-hand strikes, Combat Jiu-Jitsu Worlds on July 27th is a must-watch. Keep your eyes on Marcelo Cohen — because when the lights come on in Monterrey, he’ll be ready to do his thing.
