Fight To Win Pro Returns Live On FloGrappling, Here's Why You Should Watch
Fight to Win Pro is coming back to Illinois this Friday, and you can watch all the action happen live right here on FloGrappling. 

The main event of the evening at Odeum Sports Center in Villa Park, IL, will feature a 175lb black belt gi match between New Breed Bonsai's Mark Vives and Cassio Werneck of Cassio Werneck BJJ. 

The stage is a familiar one to Vives, who has multiple impressive wins over tough opponents. His match against Pablo Castro at Cleveland's F2W 32 back in April earned him a split-decision victory and the Fight of the Night title. He's also won the Chicago Spring and Summer Open multiple times in the Masters 2 division.

Werneck, for his part, will be making his F2W Pro debut at this event. He was a World and Pan American champion in 2003, and as an MMA fighter, he won both of his bouts in the WEC by submission (the first with a triangle and the second with an armbar).

As always, the main event will follow nearly 30 additional matches between carefully selected competitors, including numerous local black belts.

​Fight to Win Pro 49 will start streaming live on FloGrappling starting at 6 PM CST on Friday, September 29. Don't miss it!
