I think it would be great for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu if someone started a professional promotion like ACB JJ and streamed the events live on YouTube like they did.  They should use the same rules that ACB JJ did, but only call penalties if there are obvious rule infractions. I would also emphasize gi competition.  The one change I would make is that I would allow women to compete, which ACB JJ didn't do.

Eddie Bravo Invitational and Combat Jiu Jitsu are my favorites, the last event was a must watch

Cool glad to see more shows and more couldn't hurt!
I've seen some sub underground and Eddie and highlights of the rest.

The ACB JJ style is much easier for a sports fan to understand, since is uses the traditional IBJJF point system and doesn't use gimmicky rules like EBI and it doesn't have the blood and brutality of Combat Jiu-Jitsu.
