Fight 2 Win 161 saw Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu continue the dominant form that resulted in him being awarded with the title of No Gi Grappler of the Year at the 2020 Jitsmagazine BJJ Awards. He registered a convincing victory over ADCC veteran Tim Spriggs to retain the promotion’s No Gi Super-Heavyweight title, at the top of a card stacked with fantastic talent. Shortly before that, Jason Rau won the Master’s Middleweight title after defeating the experienced MMA fighter Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante in another decision victory.
Buried a little deeper in the card were a number of high-profile fights, like Aaron “Tex” Johnson taking on Arnaldo Maidana in a match he would go on to win by submission. Rida Haisam also made his Fight 2 Win debut against Brendan Allen, winning a decision in what is sure to be the first of many victories on the American competitive scene for the up-and-coming grappler. Vagner Rocha’s son, Achilles, also earned a huge moment in the spotlight when he became the F2W Teen Champion at the very beginning of the event.
