Fight to Win Pro 35 didn’t leave anyone disappointed in Dallas, especially with an intense back-and-forth main event between Justin Rader and Bruno Frazatto that was packed with close calls.

The match started out with Rader focusing on takedowns and defending a guillotine before Frazatto pulled guard. Rader attempted an estima lock and then a toe hold against his opponent before both men attempted toe holds against each other.

When it was all over, the judges awarded the victory to Rader by unanimous decision.
