Kaynan Duarte To Face Roberto Jimenez In WNO 25 Main Event
ADCC Double Champ Kaynan Duarte will headline WNO 25 when he takes on IBJJF World No-Gi Open Class Champion Roberto Jimenez in Houston, TX on December 4th
Kaynan Duarte will face off with Roberto Jimenez in the main event of WNO 25, in a clash of the reigning ADCC and IBJJF No-Gi Open Class Champions. WNO 25 will be going down December 4th in Houston, Texas. Tickets will be available soon. The card will be rolled out over the next few weeks, with multiple WNO Championship bouts expected.
This will be a great clash as Kaynan Duarte is on the hottest streak of his career after winning double gold at ADCC Worlds, submitting seven of eight opponents, but Jimenez is an elite opponent who thrives in the underdog role. His ability to scrap with the best and find the back against anyone represents a real danger to Duarte.
Kaynan Duarte is now a 4-time ADCC Champion who has a combination of power, strategy, and technique that is a rare blend few can match. At only 26, he's just now entering his prime and it showed in his most recent performance. With the guidance of Andre Galvao at Atos, he has all the tools to become one of the greatest in history.
Roberto has also been on a great hot streak, winning the IBJJF No-Gi Worlds open class last December and turning in great performances this year at AIGA and CJI. Roberto always operates on his own rhythm and brings a calm demeanor that hides how scrappy he is under pressure. Against Duarte, the more he can add scrambling and chaos, the higher his chances of finding the back and closing the show become. Win or lose, Jimenez will bring the fight against anyone.
