The fight fans of Hawaii have been described by many fighters as the most enthusiastic of crowds. If we combine their energy with the card quality set forth by the Fight 2 Win 132, we are set for a heck of a night.
The main event could not be better, one of the best match-ups to be made in the sport. We will have two ADCC medal placers and two of the most exciting lightweights the world has ever seen, who have oddly never crossed paths in competition. We are talking about Garry Tonon and Davi Ramos.
The F2W Pro 132 will also feature a Master’s featherweight title between the legendary Baret Yoshida, one of Hawaii’s original grappling OGs. Baret will battle another well known black belt from Hawaii in Jordan Gomez.
The sleeper match on the card, however, should be the battle between two of the most technical men in the sport right now, Mr. Jake Watson and Michael Liera Jr. Watson is a finisher and will take chances to get there, while Liera is the master.planner. A good style clash and exciting to see how new black belt Jake will fair against his most accomplished opponent yet.

Main Event
Garry Tonon (Renzo Gracie) vs Davi Ramos (Atos)
We haven’t been this excited about a super-fight in a long time, this is a truly spectacular match-up between two formidable lightweight grapplers who have moved away from jiu-jitsu competition over the last couple of years to focus on MMA.
Ramos will have the power and size advantage here, while Tonon has superior defense and more knowledgeable of the leg lock game. Scrambles and speed, we would say there is likely a tie, making this a very exciting affair.
Co-Main Event: Masters Black Belt Featherweight Gi Title
Jordan Gomez (CJJF) vs Baret Yoshida (Baret Submissions)
Another title defense for the 42-year-old competitor, Baret Yoshida, who shows no signs of aging or slowing down. Baret’s formidable back takes and crucifix choke onslaught will be met by Gomez’ aggressive guard.
240lbs Black Belt No-Gi
Helton Jose (Atos) vs Victor Hugo (Ribeiro JJ)
Although a very skilled athlete, Helton is not a submission hunter, by any means. His style severely contrasts that of fresh black belt Victor Hugo, who loves to press the action and get the finish. The F2W ruleset favors the Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu grappler here, but this will not be an easy task for the rising star who should not fall prey to Jose’s slow cooking pace.
Female Bantamweight Masters Black Belt Gi Title
Tracey Goodell (CJJF) vs Jena Bishop (Alliance)
Another outstanding clash between two of the most interesting athletes to watch compete. A traditional guard player with tons of flair and flexibility, F2W champ Tracey Goodell will have the hometown advantage in her title defense. Bishop, on the other hand, is the more experienced and well-rounded of the two.
An interesting match-up, we would give Bishop the edge here for a more solid use of fundamentals type grappling and aggression, tools that will be hard to match from the bottom, Tracey’s go-to game. This should not be mistaken for a walk in the park type situation, Goodell is a very distinguished athlete and has plenty of tools to take this as well, particularly with that home crowd behind her.
185lbs Black Belt Gi
Jake Watson (Maracaba BJJ) vs Michael Liera Jr (Atos)
As we referenced above, this one has FOTN written all over. This should be a race for bottom position, as both give preference to playing from their guard, yet both can play well from a passing stance with tons of movement and flair.
A substantial size advantage for Watson, who is a natural medium-heavyweight athlete against Michael Liera Jr. Who made his career competing at lightweight. In this affair, the two will meet halfway, at middleweight.
Aside from the size advantage, both aver very evenly matched, with the experience going to Liera and the aggression and killer instinct leaning towards Jake. Very excited for this one.
