Watch Tainan Dalpra Submit Rene Sousa With Side Katagatame

Next Up: Light Heavyweight Double-Header

"Whoever comes out of these matchups looking like that guy is going to get a title shot and become a major player in this division," says FloGrappling expert Joe Gilpin.

At 205 pounds, we’ve got a double-feature of big hitters: Roberto Jimenez vs. Elder Cruz and Luccas Lira vs. Ryan Aiken. 

Cruz is a world-class wrestler who’s going to try to slow it down with control, while Roberto Jimenez will throw caution to the wind and try to burn the place down. 

Lira and Aiken, both submission hunters, are looking to establish themselves as title contenders

Next Up: Tainan Dalpha Vs. Rene Sousa

Tainan Dalpra, currently in the middle of a Grand Slam run, is set to face Rene Sousa.

Dalpra is coming off a hand injury that forced him to withdraw from the IBJJF The Crown finals and heavily taped his hand during the IBJJF European Championship. 

He's here to prove that even with one hand taped up, he’s still a wrecking ball.

“He’s operating with one hand... It’s a different beast compared to competing in the Gi,” says FloGrappling Expert Gilpin. 

Despite the injury, Dalpra remains a force to be reckoned with, but don't sleep on Sousa. He's a 10th Planet black belt known for his aggressive leg locks.

Ronaldo Junior Def. Jay-Rod By Decision

In an incredibly close match that went the distance, Ronaldo Junior defeated Jay Rodriguez by decision.

Jay Rodriguez Vs. Ronaldo Junior

In the co-main event, Jay Rodriguez faces Ronaldo Junior in a clash of contrasting styles. 

While Ronaldo has become calculated and methodical in recent years, once dubbed “human highlight reel,” Rodriguez remains an explosive force, though he's yet to garner his first WNO victory. 

"It's just one of these younger guys taking on somebody who is very much like them but further along in their career. It’s going to be an interesting style clash because this person’s going to have to return to their roots." says FloGrappling expert Joe Gilpin.

Rafaela Guedes Vs. Paige Ivette

The women’s heavyweight division is in the spotlight as reigning No. 1-ranked competitor Rafaela Guedes faces Paige Ivette, making her return after a two-year injury hiatus.

“Rafaela’s looking to extend her dominance on top as the world’s top female heavyweight,” says FloGrappling expert Joe Gilpin. 

Ivette, however, has proven her resilience by earning silver at both IBJJF No-Gi Pans and No-Gi Worlds in her first tournaments since her return.

Diego Pato Vs. Keith Krikorian: The Grudge Match

“Pato’s got some of the nastiest submissions in the game... He brings a level of fear to the mat that few others can,” says FloGrappling expert Joe Gilpin.

In the headliner, Diego Pato will defend his lightweight title against Keith Krikorian, who is more determined than ever. 

Their previous showdown at ADCC saw Pato finish Krikorian with a vicious ankle lock that broke his leg, but since that loss, Krikorian has transformed his game.

As Gilpin puts it, “Keith is very much improved from where he was.”

Gilpin also notes, “I think something that we've seen with Pato is that guys tend to do a little better in rematches with him,” hinting at the possibility of an upset. 

Krikorian is calling this “the biggest match of his life,” and it takes place in his neck of the woods.
