Thug Trials 2 took place on February 14th, 2026 and the promotion put together a great event featuring several of the best grapplers in the world. One of the wildest highlights of the night was actually pretty early on in the preliminary card, as Isabel Dawson leapt into a crazy flying armbar to get the tap in less than 6 seconds of total time. The big names started to step on the mat after that but the first one of them to get a finish was Jacob Couch, who used a false reap to set up a brutal ankle-lock for the tap against Sage Gonzales.
Jasmine Rocha was up next in a tough match and although Ally Wolski took her to a decision, in the end it was Rocha who got the nod from the judges. That led into a match for the vacant women’s lightweight title, and featherweight champion Helena Crevar got the decision win over Gabi Schuck to claim her second Thug Trials belt. Her teammate Dan Manasoiu also earned a decision win in the next match, followed by Vagner Rocha doing the same after a battle with David Garmo in the co-main event. Then the final match of the night saw Gabriel Sousa get the decision win over Keith Krikorian to take home the under 165lbs title.
