Rylan Lizares hurt his knee, while training for his match with Jeff Glover and was forced to withdraw. He was replaced by a local Hawaiian black belt Kyle Sukehira from Ka-Mole Jiu-Jitsu in Kauai.

On Sunday, April 23, 2006 the second “Best of the West No-Gi Submission Grappling Championships” took place in the Hall of Champions at Long Beach City College in Long Beach, California.
The event was extremely well organized and ran very smoothly by the joint efforts of OnTheMat.com and GrapplingTournaments.com. The event also gained a lot of support from some of the best sponsors in Mixed Martial Arts, including the OTM Fight Shop, OnTheMat.com, TapouT, Sinister, Gameness, Bad Boy, DaHui, Rockstar, and Rated’s GrapplingRatings.com.
The twelve referees for the event were all jiu-jitsu experts certified and experienced in the rules of both jiu-jitsu and submission grappling.

Both fighters are young, well-liked, jiu-jitsu studs that I expect will be seeing a lot of each other in the years to come. Okay so leading into the Best of the West, everyone was anticipating the Rick Macauley vs. Ryron Gracie showdown.
In one corner, there was Rick Macauley. Over the last few years one would be hard pressed to find a more active, exciting, and innovative fighter in the grappling game. In 2005 alone, Rick had over 75 fights, competed at the ADCC trials, and has beaten some of the world's most elite submission experts. It's great to see how fast and dangerous his game has progressed in the past few years.
In the other corner, there was Ryron Gracie. Son of Rorion, grandson of Helio, and the current torchbearer of the legendary............. CLICK READ MORE BELOW...
