The Weigh Ins for Fight To Win Pro 8 was largely a smooth affair. Despite the weight cuts, fighters were happy to greet one another and get the damn thing over with. Which is exactly what Yuri Simoes was hoping for -except Dean Lister arrived nearly an hour late. Gamesmanship, or not, tensions boiled over and Yuri let Dean know exactly what was on his mind. Thankfully the tough talks didn't turn physical and the two have the opportunity to settle the beef in the ring.
Oh man, we've got a grudge match! Yuri Simoes and Dean Lister clashed at ADCC back in 2015, and Lister wasn't happy with how the judges handled the bout.

Yuri Simoes likes submission-only format events, but with a catch: "I think the rules are good, but what really matters is the mindset of the competitors," he says. "If you want to go out and stall for 10 minutes, it's the same as other events. I think if you have the mentality to go HAM, it's really good."
