Fight To Win Pro 52 continued its East Coast tour down to the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia!

Cachorrao Dominates

The main event was between Ricardo 'Cachorrao' Almeida- ADCC medalist and MMA veteran, and the fearsome F2W Pro veteran and No-Gi World Champion Michael Alexander.

The two men wasted no time getting down to business- Alexander pulled guard and Almeida immediately began to lay on the pressure. Though Alexander controlled the opening moments, Almeida soon placed himself in the driver's seat after a nice sweep from half guard.

And once the 'Big Dog', got on top, he stayed there.

Passing at will, Almeida threatened several submission attempts until he decided to drop back into the honey-hole / saddle position, and finished Alexander with an inside heel hook. A dominant win over a tough opponent.

Notable Performances

Jared Weiner was on fire tonight. Straight from the opening bell, Weiner was hunting for the submission, displaying some slick guard pull sequences that nearly led to the several triangles. After dominating the match from all areas, Weiner was able to finish the match via armbar.

Another incredible performance came from 2x Brazilian National Champion and current UFC fighter Wilson Reis, who made his F2W Pro debut against Matt Schellenschlager. Schellenschlager, last minute replacement for Bruno Dias, proved to be an exceptionally game opponent, fending off some deep submission attempts. Reis won the match by unanimous decision.
