It was a clash of two titans at Fight 2 Win 94 in Richmond, CA this evening as Yuri Simoes faced Tim Spriggs in a 10-minute sub-only match. 

The two heavyweights kept the bulk of the match on the feet, exchanging collar ties and feints before attempting to take one another to the mat. 

Both fighters kept an aggressive pace and were not afraid to keep things active along the edge of the stage. At two separate times in the match, each fighter took a fall off of the mat but quickly returned to the action ready for battle.

Spriggs seemed the aggressor for the first half of the match with more takedown attempts and upholding his signature vicious pace. 

Around the two minute mark, however, Simoes brought the match to the ground. Spriggs wasted no time jumping on a leg to get the submission attempt although. Simoes then responded with a foot attack of his own before the two were reset in the middle.

Again Simoes pulled guard and was able to come on top before the final seconds expired.

The ref’s awarded Simoes the unanimous decision in the 220lb no-gi match.
