Jasmine Rocha is fresh off of another medalist performance at ADCC Trials, winning bronze in a stacked -55kg division at South American Trials after also being on the podium in the first North American Trials. The former WNO title challenger and daughter of ADCC medalist Vagner Rocha brings a brash personality and aggressive submission style to the mats every time she competes.

Emily Ferreira (née Fernandez) has been busy on the super fight scene, fighting on shows like UFC FPI, ADXC, the IBJJF Grand Prix events, and more. She's a WNO veteran, defeating Ireland's Rosa Walsh by decision in 2022, a result she is hoping to build on when taking on Rocha.
