Fight 2 Win 163 delivered a ton of action across a night full of high-level grappling action, including two elite grapplers defending their promotional titles. The majority of the matches ended in a submission this time around with the brown belt matches in particular delivering endless highlights as every single one ended with a finish. The biggest shock of the night came in the co-main event when Rafael “Formiga” Barbosa retained his F2W title by slamming Johnny Souza down to earth with enough force to render him unresponsive.
The main event then saw Kennedy Maciel continuing his dominant form recently, extending his phenomenal record on the Fight 2 Win mats by retaining his Lightweight title against Diego Oliveira. Despite the fact that opportunities for competition have been few and far between over the last year or so, Maciel has been racking up gold medals left and right, along with several high-profile victories on the superfight circuit. Given that he already earned a silver medal at the ADCC World Championships 2019, he seems to be in a fantastic position to do one better when the next edition of the finals comes around in 2022.
