Fight To Win Pro 6 goes down this Friday night, and you can watch it LIVE on FloGrappling.
Heading up the show is a main event match featuring Rafael Lovato Jr. and Diego Gamoral Nogueira. The contest will be in the gi, and subject to Fight To Win’s standard black belts rules: XX mins, with no points. Three judges will decide on a winner if the round ends with no submission.
Lovato is one of the top American black belts of all time. His resume stands out among the best in the business, and this year he’s been extremely active in gi and no-gi superfights.
Diego Gamoral is something of a dark horse in comparison, but he should not be underestimated. Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, he is a Brazilian Top Team black belt with plenty of competition experience in gi, no-gi and MMA.
Lovato’s known for his pressure passing and top position, and has one of the best kimura attacks from top in the game.
Gamoral’s videos show a dynamic competitor with strong takedowns and an aggressive game. He’s had plenty of experience going up against big names, so a match with someone of Lovato’s reputation shouldn’t phase him.
