Fight 2 Win 166 marked a return to regular programming for the promotion after they decided to put on their second all-female event at F2W 165. This time, there would be a mix of male and female matchups, although the black belt main card consisted of six matches between elite male grapplers. Headlining the event was a clash between former Bellator Middleweight World Champion Rafael Lovato Jr and recent ADCC competitor Gabriel Almeida. The event also featured a number of up-and-coming grapplers taking prime position like Brazilian Fight Factory’s William Tackett and Matt Serra black belt Nick Ronan, who both managed to come away with victories against Manuel Ribamar and Justin Renick respectively.
