Fight 2 Win 157 saw the return of Tom DeBlass to professional grappling as he challenged Chad Fields for the promotion’s Super-Heavyweight title. There were no concrete submission attempts in the gritty match between the two veterans, although DeBlass worked hard to illicit reactions he could take advantage of with his use of Butterfly guard. Regardless, he wasn’t able to impose his will and get his game going in a significant enough way and Fields was able to shut down DeBlass’ takedowns and work his passing game. This was enough for the judges to award the decision to Fields and he became the promotion’s latest Masters champion.
Just before this, Vagner Rocha took on Gabriel Almeida in an exciting match with a surprising finish. The narrative throughout the fight saw Rocha taking on the role of the aggressor and Almeida working from bottom to open up his opponent for leglock attempts. In the last few minutes, Almeida decided to change his game and shoot for a single-leg but Rocha defended well and stayed upright. This led to Almeida trying to work his way to a leg entanglement but Rocha forced the fight to 50/50 and then took full advantage by exploding into the heelhook finish for the win.
