Rene Sousa returns to WNO after his kneebar victory earlier this year over Kieran Kichuk, now 1-1 on the WNO stage. The buggy choke specialist has been diversifying his game and showing new wrinkles in his debut black belt year, and now takes on one of the biggest names of his career in Ryan. Rene was also a contestant on Who's Next, where the 10th Planet competitor made the semifinals.
