"It is well known that competitors should conduct themselves in accordance
with commonly accepted standards of decency, social convention and morals. As
such, competitors should not commit any act which may reflect negatively upon
or bring contempt or shame to themselves or other competitors. Furthermore, it
is a commonly accepted principal of the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/Submission
Grappling to never permit an opponent to strike another opponent.
Due to Mr. Rocha's intentional striking of Mr. Agazarm during the Fight To
Win 14 professional event in Tampa, Florida, on October 1st, 2016, Mr. Rocha has
been disqualified and banned from future Fight To Win Pro events. r.
Competitors are held to a high standard by Fight to Win, the media and the
public. They should expect to be held to this standard. Responsible conduct by a
competitor advances the interest of the sport and themselves. Conversely,
irresponsible competitors can tarnish the character of both the impacted
competitor and Fight to Win. Put plainly, poor behavior undermines the positive
image and example set by other responsible competitors.
Fight to Win will never - and has never- condoned the type of behavior
exhibited on October 1st, 2016. We love this sport. We want nothing more than
for the fans, supporters and public to enjoy our events. We work very hard to
bring these events to fruition and would like to take this opportunity to thank
everyone involved with the entire Fight to Win experience."
