Back down at his natural weight class, Geo will be looking for revenge against Junny, who he lost to in their only meeting on points. After clashing with two competitors from the IBJJF scene in his last two matches, Geo finally gets to face another athlete who made his name in sub only competition when he goes against Junny. Geo has 33 wins in his career, with 23 of those wins (70%) coming by submission.
"I feel like it's my time to shine right now, I don't care who is in front of me, I'm ready for anything and anyone. I hope everyone is excited for this freak to put on a show. I'm not just coming out there to win, but also to entertain like I always do. You already know - FREAKS DON'T SLEEP."
Junny Ocasio
Unity Jiu-Jitsu competitor Edwin "Junny" Ocasio has won six of his last seven matches, and like his opponent recently lost to top ranked lightweight Kennedy Maciel. Junny was going way up in weight for the Kennedy match, and is even bumping up a weight class here, he is currently ranked fifth in the bantamweight division.
Besides the Geo win, Junny has some other ranked wins over Jon Calestine, Gabe Tuttle, Lucas Pinheiro and Marcelo Cohen. His last five matches have been on the F2W circuit, with two heel hooks and an inverted triangle submission in those matches. Junny will yet again be the smaller competitor like he was against Kennedy, but the bantamweight is fearless and just wants to fight the best in the world.
"I've spent the last few years developing not only my body and jiu-jitsu, but also my mind. I've never felt better and I'm ready to show the world where hard work can take you. Geo is one of the best grapplers in the world and I'm excited to face him again. It will be a must see - DON'T BLINK!"
