One of 10th Planet’s most recent black belts, Grace Gundrum, had a fantastic opportunity to make a mark on the Jiu-Jitsu community at Fight 2 Win 155 by challenging for the promotion’s Strawweight no gi Championship. Despite being very young, Gundrum has already become well-known on the grappling circuit as one of the latest generation of teenagers capable of defeating elite grapplers and she grabbed the opportunity with both hands. She defeated a far more experienced competitor in Patricia Fontes by using a signature 10th Planet submission, the Dead Orchard, named after one of their top competitors, Nathan Orchard.
Shortly before Gundrum’s star moment, Devhonte Johnson made a huge statement by defeating Vinicius “Trator” Ferreira, the current IBJJF no gi World and Pan-Ams Champion. He wasn’t the only American grappler to overcome a talenter Brazilian as the young Jake Watson continued his recent run of success by defeating Matheus Luna by Decision just moments before. Elsewhere on the card, there were a number of great finishes from a variety of positions including Tom McMahon’s surprising wristlock and purple belt Eric William’s beautiful kneebar.
