Fight2Win Bringing High End Matches this Weekend: JT Torres vs Vagner Rocha


As a kid, I would have to trick my mom into renting UFC's on VHS from Blockbuster. The fact that since then we've moved to multiple organizations, the content was on FOX for awhile, there's PFL & Bellator, we've had a reality show for however many unwatchable seasons...and now there's grappling content week after week and every month, well, it's a great time to be a competitor and/or a fan.

At any rate, this weekend, Fight2Win is bringing us more matches....
Saturday night spotlights:
Main Event
Wleter Weight NOGI Black Belt Title
Vagner Rocha (Fight Sports) vs JT Torres (Essential BJJ)
Co Main Event
220lbs Black Belt NOGI
Tim Spriggs (TLI) vs Tex Johnson
165lbs Black Belt GI
Claudia Doval (De La Riva) vs Maria Malyjasiak (Abmar Barbosa)

Vagner Rocha vs JT Torres, which stylistically is a bad match-up for Vagner. Vagner rarely shoots, and JT's wrestling as highlighted in the last ADCC is more offensive than Vagner's "foul you until you get frustrated and take a bad shot" game plan. Elsewhere on the card Spriggs faces the guy who left NYC amid a rape accusation and has slowly begun to reappear with a losing effort to Craig Jones and now this match.  Spriggs recently beat Bones at the NY Pro in a hotly contested match with much of the crowd boo'ing over stalling, takedown or fleeing the boundary points and a pass that wasn't awarded points as well. Probably the most controversial match of the event with a ton of people watching, a ton of people booing, and a ton of questionable calls.
