No-Gi World Champions Roberto Jimenez & Elder Cruz To Face Off At WNO 26

Roberto Jimenez and Elder Cruz are set for a light heavyweight clash at WNO 26 in a match between two of the best in the world at this (or any) weight class. The event will feature a full slate of no-gi super fights for fans, streaming live exclusively on February 7th. Tickets are available now.

While this match will happen at 205lbs, Elder and Roberto are the two most recent open class champions at the IBJJF No-Gi World Championships - a mark of the high level of skill they are bringing to this matchup.

Roberto Jimenez is an exciting grappler who has a grappling style that is as unique as his personality. The Las Vegas native is one of the best in the game at finding the back and choking opponents out and can never be counted out of a matchup. Roberto's fearless style and exciting matches have made him a fan favorite.

Elder Cruz is one of the best in the division, especially when he's able to apply his superlative wrestling skills and pressure game to put it on opponents. The CheckMat star has been winning at the highest level for years now and "El Monstro" makes his return after striking gold again at the No-Gi Worlds.
