A match-up between two of the best new middleweight black belt competitors is scheduled for April 17. Jonnatas Gracie will take on Matheus Luna at Fight to Win 170, the promotion has announced.

A Team Atos representative and 2019 black belt under head coach Andre Galvao, Jonnatas Gracie was an IBJJF world champion at blue, purple, and brown belt. Already in his brief black belt career he has become a Pans and European Open champion. Gracie is an all-around grappler but specializes in attacking from the open and lasso guard. He holds notable wins over Jake Watson, Edwin Najmi, and Pedro Marinho.

Matheus Luna is a guard passing specialist representing Team Checkmat. Like Gracie, he was awarded his black belt in 2019 and quickly found competitive success. He placed second at the 2020 IBJJF Pans, losing in the finals to Otavio Sousa. He holds notable wins over Jake Watson and Manuel Ribamar.

Fight to Win 170 takes place on April 17 and will live and exclusively on FloGrappling.
