High Rollerz is a cannabis-friendly California-based BJJ submission only event where all fighters must smoke weed before competing. The tournament offers a unique grand-prize: a pound of marijuana, worth around $4,000. The fourth installment took place in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 5 and 6 and was well-attended by stars in the martial arts world, including Eddie Bravo and Tyron Woodley. Jiujiteiras were well represented in the NOGI invite-only competition by athletes such as Zaira Cousins and Champ Valerie Wong, who took the coveted pound of pot in the female division.
