Rachel Dows

Fight 2 Win returns Saturday, July 20, 2019 with a varied card in Minneapolis, MN.

Jose Carlos Lima faces Tomoyuki Hashimoto. Hashimoto, the 2018 Pans and No-Gi Worlds Champ is a top roosterweight, but Lima’s no slouch. Lima is well known on the UAEJJF circuit, racking up a World Pro title and several Grand Slam golds.

In the main event, Kennedy Maciel of Alliance BJJ takes on Marcio Andre. Maciel, son of the legendary Rubens Charles AKA Cobrinha, started BJJ in just 2012, making his way quickly up the ranks to black belt. He had much success at the colored belts, particularly in 2018, when he was unbeaten with seven gold medals in seven tournaments. This ultimate led to earning his black belt in June 2018.

Marcio Andre also had much success at the colored belts. He earned his black belt in 2014 and, as such, brings more experience competing at that level to this match.

The two black belts will meet at 160lbs in the gi.
