Fight 2 Win Pro 125 Full Card: Rudson vs Gutemberg

The relentless pace set by Fight 2 Win in the professional jiu-jitsu circuit is unrivaled. The promotion is returning to America’s West Coast for the 3rd-weekend straight, this time to feature a great main event match between two gi specialists who are carrying a lot of momentum in their respective divisions, Gutemberg Pereira (GF Team Toledo) and Rudson Mateus (CTA).
Also on the cards is an important match between the new generation of the featherweight division, (Richar Nogueira) and one of the weight class’ most accomplished veterans (‘Queixinho’).

Maybe flying under the radar is a great pairing between Thiago Gaia and Jeremiah Labiano, two athletes with distinguished careers in mixed martial arts and in BJJ. Both these guys are very exciting to watch, and you can expect a submission out of this one. In a straight comparison “curriculum vs curriculum”, Gaia has the upper-hand with the more extensive list of accolades at the highest level.

Also on the card will be a historic jiu-jitsu figure, Alan Marques – commonly known as Gumby, one of the founders of the On The Mat website, a great source of grappling knowledge 12 years ago, and a pioneering idea for grappling media at the time. Gumby is well known in Northern California and a black belt under Ralph Gracie. He will be testing his skills at F2W 125.

Main Event
GUTEMBERG PEREIRA x RUDSON MATEUS
210lbs Black Belt Gi

Great match between the super-heavyweight (Pereira) and the medium-heavy athlete (Mateus). Rudson is an absolute killer from the closed-guard… if he gets there. This will be Mateus’ toughest battle, Gutemberg moves incredibly well for such a large competitor, likes to pass from a distance and plays well from his back.

Gutemberg has more weapons at his disposal, Mateus has the advantage in the killer instinct department. Fascinating challenge.

Co-Main Event
OSVALDO MOIZINHO x RICHAR NOGUEIRA
195lbs Black Belt NOGI

The featherweight division doesn’t always produce the most finishes in jiu-jitsu, but Nogueira definitely likes to break that norm when he is on deck. Very submission oriented, Richar has a killer guillotine, triangles and loves to attack the back.

Queixinho is the complete opposite of Richar. A tactician by nature, Osvaldo is a counter grappler who tends to simmer the impetus of his opponents and slow cook them towards victory. A very efficient style that has allowed Moizinho to remain at the highest level of grappling for nearly 10 years.

If a submission comes there’s a big chance it will come from Nogueira, if by decision, Queixinho has the advantage.
