Fight 2 Win 138 Preview: The Biggest Event Yet
Fight 2 Win 138 is coming up this weekend and so far looks like it’s going to be the best event that the American promotion has ever put together. Fight 2 Win normally has one or two big matchups at the top of the card but they’re really pulling out all of the stops for this event. The event features two phenomenal title matches at the very top as Gianni Grippo takes on Matheus Gabriel and Vinicius “Trator” Ferreira meets Rafael Lovato Jr in his return to BJJ competition.
Further down the card are some truly elite grapplers like 10th Planet posterboy Geo Martinez who faces off against Danaher Death Squad member Ethan Crelinsten, coming straight off an impressive performance at Jitzking Miami. We also get to see the effortlessly brutal Vagner Rocha competing against Michael Perez. There are also appearances by Crelinsten’s teammate Oliver Taza, prolific competitor Jaime Canuto and someone who’s been around since the early days of Fight 2 Win, Brandon Quick.
The card promises action from start to finish with roughly twice as many black belt matches as your average Fight 2 Win event and with the addition of several Judo matches to change things up, alongside a Judo Middleweight Title bout. As usual, the undercard features a number of local fighters and starts with teen matches, moving onto blue and purple belts before the brown belt matches start. Just before the main card then, are three brown belt title matches featuring some exciting talent.
